Setting the taxonomy to be hierarchical should be getting the job done, regardless of classic vs block editor.
Can you screenshot what you’re seeing on the side with the taxonomy term metabox?
Also in case you have multiples, did you make sure to set the correct taxonomy that way?
Hi Michael, thanks for the speedy response.
Below is the link to the page i want to display it on, for some reason my screen shot wont paste. Is there a way I can send you login details if it helps. I need to add the CPT to the widgets but i cannot get it to display using the normal category widget

Ah you mean a literal widget from Appearance > Widgets, and not the taxonomy behaving like a category vs a tag when assigning the term. Or perhaps an Elegant Themes PageBuilder widget?
I don’t personally know at the moment how to do so with the Pagebuilder widget if this is meant for an ET thing. Their support would be better for that. If it’s a standard WordPress widget, I believe there are filters to do things with.
In both cases, it’s not something that CPTUI handles out of box.
