"shs-choosen" widget hides taxonomy term selection and prevents selecting child terms

Created on 29 April 2025, 16 days ago

Problem/Motivation

When configuring a taxonomy term reference field using the "shs-choosen" widget, the taxonomy term selection UI fails to appear on the content edit form. As a result:

  • The main select box is not visible.
  • Users cannot select any terms, including child terms.
  • The form is effectively broken for term selection.

This does not happen with the "shs" widget (without choosen), which works as expected.
Attaching a screen recording to demonstrate the issue for reference.

Steps to reproduce

  • Create a vocabulary with at least one parent term and some child terms.
  • Create a content type with a term reference field using this vocabulary.
  • In the field widget settings, select Simple hierarchical select - choosen (shs-choosen) as the widget.
  • Try to create or edit a content item of that type

.

Expected Result

  • A hierarchical select box should appear.
  • Users should be able to select parent and child terms.

Actual Result

  • No select box is rendered.
  • No terms can be selected.

Proposed resolution

Investigate if thereโ€™s a conflict or missing initialization between SHS and the Choosen library. Possibly the select element is being hidden or not properly rendered.
