Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Not sure if I'm understanding this correctly, but if my HS views filter setting has enforce_deepest = False, then the Level Labels are displayed and they serve the same purpose as option. In this case, option is unnecessary and should be removed, otherwise it's impossible to have the filter default to option (if it's removed, we can use Level Label to create an label for default, but if is not removed, we'll have two 's if we use this trick), which is how the regular taxonomy views filter will behave.

jrao commentedRepost to get <Any> displayed properly:

wim leersI don't understand at all. So please make a screencast of:
That makes it easier for me to reproduce the problem. Thanks!
P.S.: don't have any screencast software yet? On Windows and Mac OS X, you can use the free Jing.
Comment #3
jrao commentedOk, Jing doesn't like my display setup, so I have to use normal screen capture, please check attached zip:
location vocabulary.jpg: I have a vocabulary called Location which has states and cities in a 2 level hierarchy, it is applied to a content type called Video
location terms.jpg: Terms in the vocabulary
filter setting.jpg: I have a view for listing Video contents, I added a HS taxonomy filter to this view, this is the filter setting
filter setting hs.jpg: Here's the HS setting for the filter, dropbox is also disabled
views filter.jpg: The filter looks like this in views preview, the problem is both State and <Any> are displayed in the dropdown, they serve the same purpose, so the <Any> here is not necessary and should be removed, so that admin can just change State to <Any>

wim leersThe is special and required by Views when the exposed filter is optional. I understand what you're saying though. I welcome a patch but won't add this one myself (due to time constraints) — it's a very small nuisance. I'm pretty sure you won't be implementing this either, so unfortunately I'm won't fixing this.

If somebodoy could create a patch for this issue, would be great.
Thanks.
Comment #6
jsimonis commentedI agree. It would be nice to turn this off.
We have a block in the sidebar, which means we can't set the filter to be required. Doing so brings up a big red message about the field being required on every single page on the site.
There should be an option to remove that if you have a label for that level since the label acts the same way.
Comment #7
adityamenon commentedHi, I'm having this exact 'nuisance', as Mr. Leers rightly put it.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, even with very generic pseudocode / code locations, I will fix this. I simply cannot have it, that I cannot switch this off or at least change the text for the
<any>label. But I am quite frightened to wade into the code without any direction, because of time constraints I have - in addition, not the least, due to the fact that I am somewhat new to Drupal coding.jrao, did you notice, that the Level Labels do not seem to have the same functionality as
<any>? Choosing a Level Label and clicking appply will not do anything but redirect to the same page you are on. Choosing<any>however, will bring you back to the unfiltered results. So I would actually love to remove all the labels and change the text of<any>from within my module, but I don't really know how to do that because HS does not appear to work with FAPI (I remember Mr. Leers writing something somewhere about FAPI being too complex).
