Create a new Topic in one category > change categories > new category is not displayed

  1. I clicked on Create a new Topic when I was in one category

  2. I chose a different category to post in

  3. After selecting the new category, it does not display in the category field

If I create this topic, it will be in the category I selected, but visually Discourse doesn’t tell me that’s true.

Oh dear this is definitely a repro-able bug @sam @joffreyjaffeux we need to prioritize a fix here quick next week.

I don’t get step 2 though. This is supposed to be scoped to the current category you were in (and from my test, this is the case).

So how can you choose a different parent category in step 2? I’m missing something here.

EDIT: Ok I get it, seems like search is not getting scoped to current category. (and for some reason my first attempt didnt show this)

Did you mark this one for backport to stable?

No because I will merge it Monday, but I will backport it at this time :+1:
