Pull Request for Issue #45066 .
Summary of Changes
Changed
/components/com_content/tmpl/categories/default.xml
/components/com_content/tmpl/category/blog.xml
/components/com_content/tmpl/category/list.xml
to reference the correct views rather than "article" to get the according layouts to choose from in Options
Testing Instructions
Create override for category or categories. Create an (e.g.) Category Blog menu entry; go to Options -> Choose a Layout
Actual result BEFORE applying this Pull Request
Pulldown only shows "Default" only, although e.g. Category Blog should have blog and list by the component. Additionally overrides from the template are not shown.
Expected result AFTER applying this Pull Request
Pulldown shows proper views from Component (e.g. blog & list for category blog) and overrides from template.

@pAnd0rASBG The first title was better (without the issue-number) because the title is used in the changelog.
Ok, changed it back :)

Joomla works as expected, your change is wrong. The 'Choose a Layout" option is for the article view (when you click on the article) and not for the category view, this is handled at the "Menu Item Type"
What for is it there then at all?
And wouldn't it be fantastic, if you could choose different overrides here?
This is highly illogical...
- "Choose Layout" under Options is there, but has no functionality
- Template administration gives you the possibility to create multiple overrides, but they can't be used?
- To actually get different overrides, you would need to create multiple child templates with /html/com_content/category/default_filenames which seems to be unnecessarily complex compared to "Choose a Layout" in Options.
