HELPPPP !!!! Idea Portal, Create a Idea

[Hitesh Ramba]

Whenever I am trying to create a idea on idea portal , it is showing category as mandatory .Is there any possible ways to make it unmandate .I tried making it false in IM Create/Edit widget but the asterisk has gone and its still showing the filed should be filled before creating an idea . Orelse is there any other way to make category field read-only and only one category with name 'Default' populates automatically ..... 

Thank You!!

Thanks for the Very Good Information and explanation Namita. I apologize for not mentioning the requirement clearly.. 

But my requirement is When ever we are creating an idea , this 'Others' category must be auto populated. Thats what it must be ..

Thank You!!!

Hi @Hitesh Ramba  ,

I couldn't make the category default to 'Others'. Maybe someone in the community can help here.

Still I would suggest you NOT to make it non-mandatory.

Thank You!

Hi Namita, Is there a way to automatically filter for a specific category when the Idea Portal page opens and to make the category field read-only? I'm asking this question because I am creating a custom idea portal landing page that should only show ideas from a specific category.
