Hey Doug
Technically this is not true, a result doesn’t have to be in a child to be in a parent.
So selecting just the parent, will search only inside the parent and not the children.
So in this use case this is correct.
If you must auto-tick the children the you’ll have to write some custom JS that does this – a brief outline of the logic:
1) Detect when input type = checkbox is changed
2) Figure out if it is a parent, if it is:
3) loop through all the children and set them to the same checked state as the parent
Its not too tricky to do and sounds like a nice option to add to the plugin further down the line.
Thanks
