Hi there,

I'm working with taxonomies that contain in the order of 100,000 terms. The field settings page is dying a horrible death because it is trying to load all these terms into the select box for "Extra Parent for new terms" and "Parent Term". I'll be posting a patch here, but I'd like some guidance from the maintainers.

I'm thinking of creating an option (in say admin/settings/content_taxonomy) where admins can turn these settings elements into auto-completes for working with very large taxonomies.

The other option is to just detect the number of terms in the vocabulary, and if it is over 1,000 then automatically provide an autocomplete instead of a select.

Which method do you prefer? I will write the patch.

Cheers,

Patrick

Have the same Problem.
I'd love a hierarchical select or autocomplete widget here.

but, why not just have a checkbox
[x] Set Parent for this Field

And only when i check it, the autocomplete field or whatever loads?

Best Regards,
Sandro
