# Summary

This module defines the "hierarchical_select" form element, which is a greatly enhanced way for letting the user select items in a hierarchy.

# Project URL

https://www.drupal.org/project/hierarchical_select

# Where is the code?

https://github.com/marthinal/hselect2

# Estimated completion date

Seeing as there hasn't been any updates to the github repo in about a year, I'd say the development of hs has stalled out.

There are no plans to port HS to Drupal 8, there is however client-side hierarchical select:

See https://www.drupal.org/project/cshs (taxonomy) and https://www.drupal.org/project/menu_link_weight (menu)

The project page claims no D8 version to be expected.

To solve the menu parent selector performance issues for huge menu's we'd need an ajax solution. Cshs is a client-side solution that expects all the values to be present in the DOM.

Any idea how can I get the features of submodule Hierarchical Select Menu (hs_menu) on Drupal 8? Thanks!

EDIT: Just found a feature request and a github link with code here #2657876: Add support for menu-item parent selection (On the node edit form)

The problem of existing Drupal 8 similar modules is that they are only focused on taxonomies. This module is more abstract. I've tried to port the hs_menu submodule feature to cshs module but given is taxonomy focused, it's more difficult than expected. The Github solution I said on #7 it's just a workaround, not a long term solution. So, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have also a non focused solution on D8.

Client-side Hierarchical select module release 8.x-1.6 now includes a new submodule called Client-side Hierarchical Select: Menu Link which recovers the features of Hierarchical Select Menu (hs_menu) submodule.
