Unlike regular drop-down fields, a category drop-down is a real key-value pair (category-id =&gt; category name).</p> <p>The get_select_choices method in common.php doesn't seem to handle this correctly: the way it is set up now it'll ignore the isSelected value is there is an incoming value (which works, but confused the heck out of me as I was trying to insert an isSelected field).</p> <p>Next, the code checks to see if the incoming value matches the option label:</p> <p><code>$selected = ($value == $choice[&quot;text&quot;]) ? &quot;selected=&#39;selected&#39;&quot; : &quot;&quot;;</code></p> <p>For common drop-down fields this is fine as the value is equal to the text, but for categories this fails as the option's value is different from the label. I believe the code should read:</p> <p><code>&#39;$selected = ($value == $choice[&quot;value&quot;]) ? &quot;selected=&#39;selected&#39;&quot; : &quot;&quot;;</code></p> <p>It works for me. Can you confirm my solution and if so, include it in the next release? </p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>Bart </p>
