Hey @Lebron, August is a slow month ☀ I suspect your issue is being caused by a niche custom field preloading bug in core `discourse/discourse`. I’ve raised a PR for it:

> <https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/42440>
>
> When \`lazy\_load\_categories\_groups\` is used site categories may be loaded using t…he \`find\` action in the categories controller. Currently that action leaves out preloaded custom fields normally serialized for site categories. See https://meta.discourse.org/t/custom-wizard-plugin/73345/967?u=angus and subsequent posts for an example of an issue this can cause.
