Configuration:
Drupal 8.8.5
Select2 (Pre)Installed in the Libraries Folder
Modules: Select2, Select2 Facet widget, Select2 Publish
I have set the field in Field UI > Manage Form Display Widget to Select 2
I am trying to utilize the Option Group Label much like all of the Select2 Samples do with Timezones, where the options are grouped/categorized (<optgroup>) with a simple single select!
In Drupal 8.8.5 (and below) when I create a list (Text) field I must populate it with the options and have been trying to figure out how to designate the Field Groupings as in this example:
<Fruit> (Or the equivilant of <optgroup label=“Fruit”>)
- Apples|Apples
- Oranges|Oranges
<Veggies>
- Spinach|Spinach
- Carrots|Carrots
However when saved the Labels are automatically converted to options and render empty choices in the form:
<Fruit>|<Fruit>
Apples|Apples
And the resulting display simply renders a (Selectable but empty placeholder)
Not what we see in the Sample Timezone widget:
Alaska/Hawaii Timezone
- Alaska|Alaska
- Hawaii|Hawaii
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated !
