Restrict the tags choosable in the backend based on category

  • Hi,

    I have a lot of tags and some custom taxonomies.

    My question is:

    Is it possible to limit the tags selectable in the backend based on the category chosen?

    Example:

    Let’s say I have a category “books” and a custom taxonomy called “amount”.

    If the category “books” is selected I can show the custom taxonomy called “amount” in my backed via the location rules.

    But is it possible the show only certain tags from the custom taxonomy “amount” as a checkbox?

    Let’s say I also have a category “music album” and the custom taxonomy “amount” contains tags like “100-200 pages”, “10-15 songs”.

    If the category “books” is selected I only want to show the tags from the custom taxonomy “amount” which are relevant to the category “books”.

    Basically, I not only want to define which custom taxonomys are shown once a category is selected I also want to define which tags from this custom taxonomy can be chosen.

    I hope this makes sense.

    Best regards,
    Alina

  • I believe that you are talking about having 2 fields where the second taxonomy field shows results based on the selection in another taxonomy field.

    This is not easy and I do not have the details. I can only give you a rough outline.
