Subcategory selection in the Kanban TC could be improved

At the moment you cannot intuitively specify having a Board active on subcategories. The setting itself doesn’t offer guidance or give a selection.

In order to select a subcategory, you need to enter just the slug of the subcategory (without the parent slug). I think that this is a bit unique within the Discourse UI, and is different to most other TCs. This trips up quite a few people it seems.

I can’t get them to work for my subcategories. How did you configure your subcats? Using something like category/sub_category where all lowercase regardless of display case?

To answer my own question, this is covered here

and though I played with some combinations, I didn’t get the right one, which is to use the correct slug (underscore had been translated to a dash) and for category and subcategory to both be included, separately without any path in the subcat.

I’m trying to set up the default view here: Roadmap - Bitwarden Community Forums

and entered feature-requests-roadmap into the ‘default view’

it doesn’t show up as a board by default, any suggestions?

I think you just use requests-roadmap to achieve that!

I’ve edited the Kanban Board settings documentation to make this a little more obvious by adding this:

For subcategories, don’t include parent slug.

It would be nice if this TC used a proper category selector instead, but it does work fine once you’ve worked this out!

Thanks for the tip! I tried your suggestion and ‘feature-requests-roadmap’ but neither did the trick.

Just looking at your site again - I misread your subcat slug sorry. The link of your subcat:

https://community.bitwarden.com/c/feature-requests/roadmap/81

This means that you should actually simply use roadmap.

Thanks for following up, I did try that but it did not work, maybe just running up against a limitation of the plugin.
