Defect #2619
closed
Categories field displays when no categories exist and user can't add new
0%
Description
As a user with no access to create new categories, create a new ticket in a project with no categories. The category drop down displays, although no options exist. It probably shouldn't show, much like target version doesn't display when no options are there.

Hrm. This fix hides the ability to add new categories to those that would otherwise have access to do so. :(

True, I knewn about that. But it also hides the field for those who do not want to use categories at all.
You can create a first set of categories in project settings then use the shortcut when one is missing.
I think it's pretty fair?

Yeah, the remaining issue of not being able to initiate categories from the new issue page is certainly of a much lower priority. I'm willing to ignore it for now. ;)

The empty drop down and the link could still be displayed when the user is authorized to create categories, no?
But that move the remaining minor issue on a new one: when we NEVER want to use categories.
