How to enable 'category picker' on the category field on a knowledge form?

[Akif Shah]

This is what i see when i click on the category reference icon

How do i get the category picker like below to pop up?

if you want to enable tree picker functionality for category then you need to create custom reference field on kb_category table and that field should reference to the kb_category itself then add "tree_picker = true" in category field attribute.

eg: create reference type field (field name= "Parent" ) on kb_category table. and this should reference to the kb_category table.

Did you ever find a solution to this? I have the same issue

The attribute for the kb_category field is a reference to the UI Macro 'kb_category_reference_lookup'.

I defined a new macro and just changed line 99 and 100 to my custom field. 

E.g.:

99. var category_form_id = 'element.' + '$[jvar_table_name]' + '.u_publish_in_category';
100. var category_link_id = 'a[id="lookup.' + '$[jvar_table_name]' + '.u_publish_in_category"]';
