Subcategory dropdown missing on category edit page

When are at the page where you can edit a category and use the dropdown at the top to navigate to a subcategory of that category, the dropdown for subcategories does not appear.

In the video, I start at the test-3 category, which is the parent category of test-category. Then I use the dropdown to navigate to the edit page of test-category.

What I see at the end:

What I expect to see (and what I see after reloading the page):

This is a generic issue. Any changes to categories need a full reload to be into effect. Same goes for creating a category and then trying to create a post in it, or to assign a group to it. It would be great if the system would just issue a reload via the MessageBus if only for the user making the edit.

Could you explain which changes you mean? I didn’t edit anything. This problem only occurs if the subcategory I choose is a subcategory of the category I am looking at. If the subcategory has a different parent category, it works fine.

For example, switching from test-3 to Status, a subcategory of Team, works fine.

I’m confused

I see what you mean. It’s even worse. If you choose “back to category” it’s an issue as well.

You are right. :eyes: When I choose “back to category” from the subcategory edit page, the subcategory dropdown is missing too.

This is test-category as the about topic indicates:
