Category setting to enable solutions doesn't stay checked

Bug
1

Reproduce:

  1. Go to a category where people can mark solutions & click the Edit button to modify category settings.
  2. Notice “Allow topic owner and staff to mark a reply as the solution” is not checked.
  3. Check the box for that, and click Save Category.
  4. Open the edit dialog again.

Expected result:

  • The box accurately represents the state of the toggle, and stays checked.

Actual result:

  • The box is not checked for categories with solutions enabled, and the box never stays checked after checking it and saving settings.

To make matters worse, I can’t figure out how to get solutions re-enabled for my category after trying to fix this setting. Yikes!

Fixed this one. We were doing something weird and modifying Category instances after they were already created.
