(Get the code!)
You're spot on with the issue being related to the hierarchal nature of the OU selector. To allow for the hierarchical view, the dropdown is actually a hidden dropdown list, activated on pressing the OU field, which is actually a button. Before commiting to assigning myself to this issue, I've run through a few ideas:
-Using a regular select field - this loses the hierarchical view.
-Changing the button to a text input with a typeahead dropdown, retaining the original unordered list - This hasn't seemed to work so far, unfortunately.
-Utilizing a datalist - this, once again, loses the hierarchical view, and really doesn't get us what we want.
I've noticed that a few areas, particularly in the administration panel(for example, creating a new billing type), have an OU dropdown that works as we'd want it to. The problem being that it seems to be a direct port from the existing staff client, and utilises dojo.
