- Description
A tracker has been categorized (using admin category add cat to the tracker). (16 = 2019)
The same tracker has a category field for the same category selection. (16 =2019 or 17 = 2020, radio button or dropdown)On the item level, in the field category the tracker category is forced displayed even if it is not select in the field. While it make sense on the code/configuration level, it is pretty weird visually for the admin or the user.
In the screenshot below, all the items are categorized (17) 2020
But they show on the list both category (the one from the tracker (16) 2019, the one from the item field category (17) 2020.
- Solution
If it is to be displayed on the itemList (still not sure there are pros and cons), we should add something visual to make it look fine for the user (italic with a tooltip "this tracker is categorized...", disable the selection for this category, etc)
Also a note (warning?) should be displayed when using the same parent category over an object (tracker) and its children (items) ?
(both ways, when setting the option on the category field option and/or moving object to a category)- Importance
