Directly linking to new-topic not working when default list filter = no sub categories

bug
1

Hello,
I have created a link as described in How to create a new topic link with pre-filled information to create a new topic in a specific category. I have used a category_id parameter.

Everything worked, until I changed the setting of the Category from “Default List Stile=all topics” to “Default List Style = no subcategories”:

Then I get the following javascript error:

when I change the setting back to “All Topics” the link works again as intended.

I am using discourse 2.7.5 ( a94a623009 )

I can replicate this on my test site (136189508b)

  • Create a new-topic URL directed to a parent category, check that it works.
  • Change category ‘Default List Filter’ to no subcategories
  • The link now causes an error page.

This occurs for both category_id= and category=
