When creating a topic from the specific category, is there a way to only show that parents child categories?

if we limited the scope by default we’d have to make the other categories searchable at least?

This is done by the commit below

but I do wonder if some people might be confused about why the category list is incomplete if they are on certain pages.

I think if we make it as default then everyone will figure it out.
