I think it would be very useful to have the option when pinning a subcategory topic to make it pinned for both the subcategory and parent category, instead of just the subcategory. I see discussions of similar (but for not pinning subcategory topics in the parent category) here: > [@Hiding Sub-Category Pin Topics](https://meta.discourse.org/t/hiding-sub-category-pin-topics/16559): > > Heyah, I’m not a big fan of pinned topics to be honest. I feel they are a misused Forum-Way of collecting FAQ and category description (which is exactly the way we are handling them here, too). Both of which might be important to the novice (not logged in and/or trust-level-1) but are mostly annoyance to the advanced user and take up all this great top-space for so many lists. And though I’d personally loved to see a category-banner-topic like the [application pin banner](https://meta.discourse.org/t/new-banner-topic-pin-type/16458) (including the dismissal… > [@Hide all sub-category pins](https://meta.discourse.org/t/hide-all-sub-category-pins/26021): > > Continuing the discussion from [Hiding Sub-Category Pin Topics](https://meta.discourse.org/t/hiding-sub-category-pin-topics/16559/6): Currently discourse only hides description pins from sub-categories. Would it be possible to extend this to all sub-category pins, or somehow allow other pins in sub-categories to be hidden in parent categories? On our forum some categories have both a description pin, and also a number of “template” topics pinned. Having all of these templates appear in the parent category quickly makes it look messy. ---

This is an interesting idea, I’m curious what your use-case is? ---

@jomaxro Thanks for your response. There is a list of highly relevant resources that I’d like to make pinned/available in both the subcategory and parent category. Visitors from Google may perhaps only go to the subcategory, or the parent category. If it isn’t available in both they may miss it. ---

I would also like to have pinned topics in a subcategory appear as pinned in the parent category. My use case is this: - I am using a category tree to organize a large amount of content; essentially reference documents that are open for comment. Let’s call the parent category **Seasons** , with four subcategories **Winter** , **Spring** , **Summer** , **Fall** , and each subcategory has 20 topics. - One topic in each subcategory acts as a guide, including links to some of the topics within that subcategory. That guide topic is pinned. - If the user accesses the parent category Seasons they should see at the top the four guide topics, one for each of the subcategories. And within the subcategory, it should also be pinned. This seems to me like it should be the default behavior. But at the very least it should be an option in the pinning dialogue. ---

也希望看到这个。理想情况下，可以选择在父级和子级中都固定它。 用例： 类别 = Gitlab 子类别 = 公告 主题 = 计划停机 计划停机是一项公告。但是，公告是选择加入的，这意味着并非所有用户都会看到它们。因此，我们也希望将其固定在父类别中。 目前的解决方法是在父级中固定它以获得最高可见性，但这会让那些（正确地）在公告中查找此类信息的用户的感到困惑。
