This module provides a tree widget for entity reference fields, allowing users to select entities in a hierarchical view. It enhances the default autocomplete or select box widgets by displaying the relationships between entities, particularly useful for complex hierarchies like taxonomy terms.
This module provides an entity relationship hierarchy tree widget for an entity reference field.
Drupal entity reference field, such as taxonomy term reference or content reference might have very complex
hierarchy. The autocomplete widget or drop down select box widget implemented by Drupal core doesn't present the relationship between those entities. This module provide a combination of an autocomplete textfield and a tree view for reference field as one widget. This module uses JsTree JavaScript library to render a hierarchy tree of those entities.
