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!!

Hello,

Thank you for your message and concern. I appreciate your perspective on the importance of categories in the decision-making process for routing ideas to the appropriate groups.

Before proceeding with any changes, I will definitely take your points into consideration and discuss them further with the stakeholders. It's crucial to ensure that any modifications align with our overall goals and processes effectively.

Adding an "Other" option is a thoughtful suggestion, and I'll explore whether it could address the concerns raised while still providing flexibility to users.

I'll also inquire with support about the possibility of making the category non-mandatory, as you suggested.

Your input is valuable, and I'll make sure to thoroughly evaluate all options before finalizing any decisions.

Thank you again for sharing your insights.

Appreciate the understanding @smithjohns405 .

"I'll also inquire with support about the possibility of making the category non-mandatory, as you suggested." -Please note that I have suggested to leave the category "as is" i.e. mandatory.

Have a Great Sunday!

Thank You!
