You need to choose a category (under Options). It is a required field.

ysrostov - comment - 4 Apr 2017

In the Options tab for this particular Menu item there are only two items:

  • Default Category (yes/no)
  • Submission Redirect
    Neither of them is a required field

@ysrostov click on Default Category "Yes" open below new Field to choose Category.

What if I don't need a default category...? If it's not an option then why there is NO settings possible?

avatar franz-wohlkoenig
franz-wohlkoenig - comment - 4 Apr 2017

@ysrostov you're right. "No" should choose Category "uncategorized" by Default.

Now User have to choose a Category and then click "No" on "Default Category" to make Menu work.

@franz-wohlkoenig thanks! I got it working, though I would suggest to change the error message to be more explanatory and let users know about these steps and this new change. Somethin like:
"Please choose a default category, then you can set NO for "Uncategorised"
The previous UI scenario was fine to me, more straightforward at least - don't see reason why it has changed.

Setting no does not mean uncategorized!

Then it's totaly unclear why we have to choose some default category as a requred option to be able then set it to NO later... obscure UX/UI imho
Everything worked nicely in beta3, I am just curious why it's changed in beta4... or I'am missing here something?

Will review soon when I've had my coffee but No should mean that the user can save an article on any category

Yes it was a mistake by me in #14639

I will do a PR to fix this and revert that behaviour soon

PR created to fix this issue

@franz-wohlkoenig FYI uncategorised is just a name of a category - it does not have to be present on a site and has no special meaning or function
