Problem/Motivation

Since the update to 1.2.46, some entries in hierarchical select lists are missing. I am not yet sure which exact conditions trigger the issue.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a hierarchy of tags like this:

2. Create an entity reference field referencing the tags with the following form display settings:
3. Go to the entity form and try to reference "Example B". It is not included in the list:
Even when explicitly searching for it, it does not show up. With 1.2.45, it shows up as expected.

Remaining tasks

- Locate the bug
- Fix the bug
- Add test coverage (?)

I am also able to consistently reproduce this issue on the latest version.

Observed behavior with hierarchical taxonomy terms in Tagify autocomplete:

  • Parent taxonomy terms cannot be selected when they have child terms.
  • If a top-level parent term does not have any children, it does not appear at all in the autocomplete list.
  • Child terms continue to appear and are selectable.

Hi,

I've investigated this issue and successfully managed to replicate it locally with the steps provided in issue description and #1.

I've found that this happens due to how module js library handles term suggestions. In 1.2.46 version 'Parent Selection' option is introduced. If this setting is disabled, then tagify.js incorrectly filters out terms that have no parents. In my MR I've tweaked the js to allow terms to be selectable, but then I don't see any difference in having parent selection option either enabled or disabled.

I'm moving this to needs review.

Thanks @Jernej Mramor to work on this, but in this case we need to keep the parent selection logic, so could be cases where the parent should not be selected.

I'm currently working on a fix.
