    If a hierarchical taxonomy is set to display in a sub-group Taxonomy Advanced field with a checkbox tree option, than is does not display sub-terms. If set to Select Advanced, it finds sub-terms, but does not save those.

    For a normal field, not a part of sub-group it displays OK.

    Hi,

    The subfield taxonomy_advanced in a group, field type checkbox_tree works as well on my site. Screenshot https://imgur.com/iNBMl1Z
    Code:

            'fields' => [
            [
                'name'   => __( 'Group', 'your-text-domain' ),
                'id'     => $prefix . 'group_6rzszh8tdbl',
                'type'   => 'group',
                'fields' => [
                    [
                        'name'       => __( 'Taxonomy Advanced', 'your-text-domain' ),
                        'id'         => $prefix . 'taxonomy_advanced_hm330v010b',
                        'type'       => 'taxonomy_advanced',
                        'taxonomy'   => ['category'],
                        'field_type' => 'checkbox_tree',
                    ],
                ],
            ],
        ],

    But it does not display that on my side


    [
                        'name'              => __( 'Type of Glass', 'your-text-domain' ),
                        'id'                => $prefix . 'door_glass_type_selector',
                        'type'              => 'taxonomy_advanced',
                        'label_description' => __( 'only select one type for this variant', 'your-text-domain' ),
                        'taxonomy'          => ['type-of-glass'],
                        'field_type'        => 'checkbox_tree',
                        'remove_default'    => true,
                    ],

    I also have additional meta-definition for setting pics for terms in custom plugin as:

    // Add custom meta for Types of Glass Taxonomy
add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'prefix_register_taxonomy_meta_boxes' );
function prefix_register_taxonomy_meta_boxes( $meta_boxes ){
    $meta_boxes[] = array(
        'title'      => 'Additional Meta for Doors',
        'taxonomies' => array('type-of-glass','jamb'), // THIS: List of taxonomies. Array or string

        'fields' => array(
            array(
                'name' => 'Featured?',
                'id'   => 'featured_glass',
                'type' => 'checkbox',
            ),
            array(
                'name' => 'Preview Image',
                'id'   => 'glass_single_image',
                'type' => 'single_image',
            ),
        ),
    );
    return $meta_boxes;
}

    Maybe that is causing the issue. What to use instead of taxonomies for array of taxonomies here, if one of taxonomies is advanced taxonomy?

    Hi,

    Please tick the parent term to show child terms like my screenshot https://imgur.com/iNBMl1Z
    The term meta does not relate to this case.

    Aha! Thank you. Is there a way to display hierarchical taxonomy not collapsed by default, or at least somehow visually indicate terms with children?

    Hi,

    There is no option to display the child term by default or mark the parent term with a specific character. I will inform the development team to consider supporting this case in future updates.

    I shall try to implement it, since Metabox allows a lot of customisation on the back end and I figured out how to load amending styles. But yes, from a layperson perspective the expected default behaviour is to have checkbox tree blooming, not collapsed. Since it is a default behaviour in side panel WP Metabox.
