Unable to see Knowledge Base categories I have added

Hello,

I have gone into Knowledge and under 'Knowledge Bases' created a new KB labelled 'Infrastructure'

However when I go to add a Knowledge Category it won't show up under that KB?

The default one that comes OOB works fine, I even tried it with an insert and stay.

Any ideas? or is it something that's maybe hiding them?

Thanks!

Graham

Hi Graham,

 

Not sure if you find the solution or not but we had recently had the same problem and find out that it is related to our upgrade to Jakarta.

 

PS: Admins were/are still able to create categories while creating KB articles.

 

Here is the workaround:

You have to update 2 ACL kb_category.parent_id and kb_category.parent_table to add 2 roles "knowledge_admin" or "knowledge_manager" role and remove or comment out "answer = false;" from the Advanced script.

 

This will let your Knowledge admin and managers add categories while creating KB articles.

 

Make it correct or helpful if you find this answer useful.
