Category list_type = how to get category ID?

Lilly · August 27, 2023, 6:45pm

Ok code gurus I’m breaking code and I can’t figure this out. I have a list setting in a theme component with a list_type: category. How can I get both a category name and ID from this setting? I can get the name and I have no problem splitting the list values themselves. I just can’t figure out how to get the category ID from the name selection. Any ideas or suggestions?
