Select parent of the autocomplete terms

Hi,
I am also looking for this. I am using Drupal 6.4

It's definitely possible in the beta3 for D6. See 'Extra Parent for new terms' in the widgets settings.
Can't remember if this feature is available in the D5 version too, but I think so.

Thanks for your answer mh86. But as I understand it, the extra parent is a fixed term that I have to chosse.

In my case the user selects a term ( a car brand) and than he can add to this brand a car type. But as far as I have found out he can not specify that this new type(term) is a child of the above chosen brand. Or am I mistaken?

I am in need of this as well. I need the user to be able to select a parent term to go with new terms they add via an autocomplete widget.

Maybe a typing convention could be used. Like

[New term]:[Existing parent term]

Cleanup of old issues. According to maintainer: "active development is only done for the 6.x branch! 5.x is not supported any more".
Reopen issue if problem still exist in 6.x branch.

I'm reopening this topic because I need the same thing as other users in it and I don't see any answer here. I'm aware of the "Extra Parent for new terms" option of this module but I didn't manage to make it work as it should. I have the same case as clown10 has (or had?) so I'll just quote him:

"As I understand it, the extra parent is a fixed term that I have to chosse. In my case the user selects a term ( a car brand) and than he can add to this brand a car type. But as far as I have found out he can not specify that this new type(term) is a child of the above chosen brand. Or am I mistaken?"

Did I do something wrong and wasn't able to make it work via "Extra Parent for new terms" or it shouldn't even work like that? If so, does anyone know any code, hint or link which could help me in solving this?

Thanks!

The original issue is fixed, but you could probably use Rules module to solve this.
