Select all options when selecting parent options

[hubub]

Hey,

I would’ve guessed that if you have multiple attribute options and parent options, and a user selects a parent option in the front-end, then all options underneath would be selected. But apparently, the parent option is an option of itself.

Would it be possible to have the options behave in the following way? When submitting a listing, a user can multi-select options, but they cannot select a parent option. When searching for listings, a user can select the parent option to automatically select all options under that parent option, or they can select individual options if they don’t want all options under that parent. How would this be possible?

I just found out that if you select a parent option, listings with an option that belongs to that parent option are in fact included.

I think it might be clearer for users how this works if after selecting the parent option in the search form (i.e., ticking the box), all the options/boxes underneath were automatically ticked as well. This might help visualize that they indeed just selected all the options in that parent option.
