It would be perfect if it wasn't stored unless they filled it in and chose a category. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/changing-the-post-category#post-8827 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 15:20:00 +0000 Carl Hancock 8827@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Currently you can't make it blank by default. But we are going to look at it and see what we can change for the 1.4 release so you can have a first option that is blank or has a label that isn't stored. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/changing-the-post-category#post-8824 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 14:22:28 +0000 morality28 8824@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Carl - I figured out what the problem is. The drop down list for each post category field is defaulting to "uncategorized" so that even if you don't choose a category it stills gets entered as uncategorized. How can I make the post category fields be blank by default? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/changing-the-post-category#post-8750 Wed, 18 Aug 2010 12:04:26 +0000 Carl Hancock 8750@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>In my tests this isn't happening... can you send me an export of that form using the form export tool to <a href="mailto:carl@rocketgenius.com">carl@rocketgenius.com</a> so I can take a look at it? Thanks! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/changing-the-post-category#post-8748 Wed, 18 Aug 2010 11:59:06 +0000 morality28 8748@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>In my test submission I filled out 1 of my 3 post category fields. The post was created under this category and the default category. Will the default category always be added unless all 3 of the post category fields are used?<br /> Thanks again </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/changing-the-post-category#post-8746 Wed, 18 Aug 2010 11:45:59 +0000 Carl Hancock 8746@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>If you add a Post Category field or fields to your form, the default post category isn't used. It's only there for when you don't have a Post Category field so it knows which category to use. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/changing-the-post-category#post-8737 Wed, 18 Aug 2010 10:38:11 +0000 morality28 8737@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>That explains it - I did add a post category field. Is it possible to remove the default post category entirely and only use the post category fields? (I'm allowing users to submit posts in 3 categories for a directory type site)<br /> Thanks! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/changing-the-post-category#post-8723 Wed, 18 Aug 2010 10:03:57 +0000 Carl Hancock 8723@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Did you add a Post Category field to your form? Currently, if you add a Post Category field to your form the default category option goes away. We will look at making it possible to do both. To get it back you would have to remove any Post Category fields you have on your form and then add them back after you change the default Post Category. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/changing-the-post-category#post-8691 Tue, 17 Aug 2010 15:42:44 +0000 morality28 8691@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>When I first added the post title field to my form, I chose uncategorized as the post category. Now I want to go back and change this to a different category but the option to choose the category has disappeared from the post title field. How do I get this back to change the category? </p>
