ParticipantI am trying to figure out how to display custom fields by parent and any of its subcategories from the GUI (I have the AIO license). If I choose "Taxonomy" from the Settings tab in Custom Fields, I don't see the category/categories I am needing.

ModeratorHi Steve,
The Settings tab supports to display the field for taxonomy. The default taxonomies of WordPress are Category, Tag, and the category name or sub-categories is the term of the taxonomy Category.
For more information, please follow the documentation
https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/categories-tags-custom-taxonomies/
https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-term-meta/#creating-meta-boxesI hope that makes sense.
May 18, 2020 at 11:22 PM #19671ParticipantI am not sure if I follow... So they CAN display in a parent/child relationship in the builder? I don't see anything in the, "Settings" for this. I am wanting to see that visual representation of parents and children (Category/Sub Categories).
May 19, 2020 at 2:46 AM #19672ParticipantI have a category called, "Toys" and a subcategory called, "Action Figures" and another subcategory called, "Star Wars" and "TRANSFORMERS". When I go to Settings > Taxonomies, I would expect to see the categories listed as:
Toys
- Action Figures
-- Star Wars
-- TRANSFORMERSBut I don't see this.
May 19, 2020 at 3:04 AM #19673ParticipantSee attachment. I have 3 "Category" Taxonomies and I have no idea how to distinguish between them. See screenshot (you can only see 2 of them in the screenshot). Also, I have subcategories under my "Category" taxonomy but since they do not appear, I cannot target them. See attachment.
May 19, 2020 at 9:04 AM #19677ModeratorHi Steve,
Let me explain more about this case. There are some custom posts type have the same taxonomy name Category but have different slug, please see my screenshot https://share.getcloudapp.com/RBuv2NxG
Toys -> is the term of the taxonomy
– Action Figures -> is the child term of ToysSo if you show the field for taxonomy, it will display on all the term's setting page of the taxonomy. You can also take a look at my short screen record.

However, I still think it would be helpful if there was a way to distinguish between the taxonomies; just as you identified them via the screenshot. Also, I don't show the "Select Advanced Field" options on my category term page but rather all of the custom fields that I set within the "Settings" tab with the "Category" taxonomy.
May 20, 2020 at 1:50 AM #19691ParticipantAfter re-watching I still don't see a way to target a specific category "term" (subcategory). Am I missing something?
May 20, 2020 at 8:21 AM #19692ParticipantI just realized I posted in the wrong categories with several posts. Feel free to move them accordingly and delete this post.
May 20, 2020 at 8:59 AM #19704ModeratorHi,
I've moved it to the Meta Box Builder sub-forum, we can discuss more on this topic.
Currently, the extension MB Term Meta only supports to show the field on all terms of the taxonomy. I will create a feature request to support showing the field on specific terms, just like
'terms' => array( termID, or termSlug ).May 20, 2020 at 11:29 AM #19709ParticipantThank you!
May 26, 2020 at 10:12 AM #19822ParticipantThis is my suggestion to display the terms within a taxonomy:
Toys
– Action Figures (id#)
— Star Wars (id#)
— TRANSFORMERS (id#) -
