Description

It would be great if Categories could be created globally for all projects besides for each project independently. In my case I have too many project where almost all of them features the same categories and it is kinda tiresome creating categories for each project.

Redmine is the Best!!!

This feature is very high on our wish list as well. Specifically it would be nice to be able to use categories in a sub project that are defined in the parent project.
We work with a long running project and we create weekly builds. Each weekly build is managed in a sub project, and it's rather tedious to recreate the categories for every sub project. being able to create them once in the parent project (or indeed globally) would be much more convenient.

+1. We are using maybe roughly 20 categories, they are really a pain to input in each project.

This would save so much time! we have new projects entered weekly. Updating the categories when they are the same for each project is very time consuming.

I would like to work on this. Is it okay to use the existing issue_categories table with project_id set to 0 for the global categories? Or is there a better approach?

Really frustrating to write same issues all over again for different projects.
