There seems to be a depth option for content_taxonomy, but not for taxonomy?

That's correct.
Drupal core's Taxonomy module does not support this. The content_taxonomy module does support this. If you want support for this feature, you should file an issue against Drupal core. It's not up to Hierarchical Select to implement this.

Right, sorry for double-posting...only saw this response after I replied to the other one.

Just out of interest...when using taxonomy_get_tree(), each term has a depth parameter - could that be an approach? Or even just a number to set when to stop creating another select list - regardless what the hierarchy depth actually is?

Yes, the API supports it, but the UI does not: the node form validation does not verify this. I *could* implement it in HS, but I won't, for the reasons mentioned.

You could write your own glue module that allows you to do this.

Alternatively, just use content_taxonomy ;)

Fair enough. No, I'm not opposed to content_taxonomy, but we've got pretty extensive integration with the taxonomy module already and it's a bit late in the project to switch such a major part.

I think I will go with the glue module approach...thanks for your replies - that's the best maintained issue queue I've seen so far on Drupal.org ;)

Thanks. I'm doing my best (and am spending probably too much time on it). It's nice to know that at least somebody notices it :)

Content_taxonomy can use Taxonomy's tables (that's what I do too), so you can simply continue to use the Taxonomy API!
