We have a custom taxonomy that is hierarchical. It has so many sub-categories that to scroll through them in the edit post page is proving problematic for editors.
Is there a way to initially show only the top level items with an option to expand/collapse the sub-categories?
Here's an example showing sub-categories, if you imagine hundreds of these under a dozen main categories then you'll see the problem.
Ideally we'd just See Climate & nature with a + next to it that would open up the sub-cats when clicked:
I'm open to writing code, using a plugin, hacking the display with jQuery, anything really! I have searched and searched but been unable to find exactly what I need.
Any help or suggestions for a direction to go to try and solve this?
