Disabling category selection in item edit...

Hi

I let user create an item of a particular type and category, using Flexi Menu Item --> Item Submission Form --> Form Type and within it use Override Category ACL and let only one category be displayed.

When I allow the user to edit the item he / she created, I want to be able to limit the choice to same one category. Either by not letting user edit the category or having choice of only pre-set category like in above item submission form.

Using only ACL does not help to achieve this (as user has rights to edit 3/4 categories and so all get displayed in EDIT mode while this item needs to be restricted to the category it was created for).

This is very essential feature. Kindly take this up on high priority.

Hello

1. this is a topic discussed before

2. this is feature already added in upcoming release, (it is already in our SVN repository for upcoming)

more details 3 more inherited ACL privileges will appear in permissions (component/categories):

core.change.cat
change category assignment

core.change.cat.sec
change secondary category assignments

core.change.cat.feat
change featured category assignments


but note that even if we agree on the usefulness of some feature this will wait in our TODO for an unspecified time, simply because of no time to implement numerous feature requests, unless ... please see this FAQ article:
About FLEXIcontent feature requests
