      Hi there,

      Is there a way to set certain options when using select fields?

      For example

      Electronics (Parent)
      – Computers (Child)
      – Mobile (Child)

      Would like to set all parent options in a select list to be disabled.

      @kabadabra– Piklist uses standard HTML form attributes.

      Add this to any Piklist field array that you want disabled:

      'attributes' => array(
  'disabled' => 'disabled'
)

      This will make the form disabled

      Hi Steve, I think you misunderstood what I’m trying to do.

      I have a select list like the following: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/cubjkioi629s2h3/2015-12-14%20at%2021.33.jpg

      I want to make certain <options> disabled but not sure how you set an attribute per choice? The code that you’ve given above would make a whole field or select disabled.

      I managed to build a workaround as per in my screenshot for getting custom taxonomies saved from the front end. But it’s a long way around to something potentially simple.

      Appreciate your feedback and thoughts as always, thank you.

      I think you mean OPTION GROUPS

      You can see an example in Piklist Demos > Common > Lists > Select with Option Groups

        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')
      )
    )
  ));

      Let us know if this works for you.
