      I found this post and it’s exactly what I need from a custom taxonomy select. However, I’m not too savvy with the codes to dynamically generate it properly from a custom taxonomy. Anybody could help?

      @helmiaditya14– Happy to help. I’m just not clear on the request. What do you need help with, creating the actual taxonomy?

      I was trying to replicate this code into the front end form.

      piklist('field', array(
    'type' => 'select'
    ,'field' => 'select_optgroup'
    ,'label' => __('Select with Option Groups', 'piklist-demo')
    ,'value' => 'third'
    ,'choices' => array(
      'Group 1' => array(
        'first' => __('First Choice', 'piklist-demo')
        ,'second' => __('Second Choice', 'piklist-demo')
        ,'third' => __('Third Choice', 'piklist-demo')
      )
      ,'Group 2' => array(
        'first' => __('First Choice', 'piklist-demo')
        ,'second' => __('Second Choice', 'piklist-demo')
        ,'third' => __('Third Choice', 'piklist-demo')
      )
    )
  ));

      But I can’t figure how to adjust the example to populate custom taxonomy. Any help appreciated!

      I didn’t know PHP that much to alter the code to generate custom taxonomy select dropdown with parent terms as optgroup. Anyone could help me?

      Thanks!

      I know this is old, but this is how I did it:

      $parents = get_terms(array(
  'taxonomy' => 'case_category'
  ,'hide_empty' => false
  ,'parent' => 0
  ));

  function choices($parent_cats){
    $cats = [];
    foreach ($parent_cats as $parent) {
      $cats[$parent->name] = piklist(
      get_terms('case_category', array(
        'hide_empty' => false
        ,'child_of' =>$parent->term_id
      )), array(
        'term_id','name'
      ));
    }
    return $cats;
  }
  // var_dump(choices($parents));

    piklist('field', array(
      'type' => 'select',
      'scope' => 'taxonomy',
      'field' => 'case_category',
      'label' => 'Category',
      'attributes' => array(
        'class' => 'form-control'
      ),
      'choices' => choices($parents),
    'required' => true,
    ));
