A user, hellekin, reported two bugs related to creating or editing categories in Discourse: (1) the color selection field only accepts pasted hex codes without the # symbol and does not support keyboard input, and (2) switching the icon/emoji or parent category erases the new category name and slug. lindsey acknowledged the issues, requested recordings, and confirmed they have been reported to the development team for resolution. hellekin provided video demonstrations of both bugs, and lindsey moved the discussion to a dedicated topic to track the fixes.
I discovered the icon/emoji category icon feature by chance and started using it right away! Awesome work!
But there are a few bugs that should be fixed:
#, which is annoying as well).
Yuck. That’s a nasty one. I’ll let our team know. I’m not sure if it’s related to this work but either way we will fix it up.
I see what you mean about the parent category, but I can’t replicate this with switching the Style field to a different selection — can you walk me through exactly what you did there or share a recording?
Here, I recorded two videos (one for each bug) on a newly installed Discourse:
Thanks for those recordings, that was really helpful. I’ve moved this over to a new topic so we can keep tabs on it. I’ve reported both issues to our team and we’ll follow up once we’ve resolved these issues!
