Status Open

Addon catalogues
Description When you add a catalogue you can specify to pre-create a lot of categories.

This is nice, but could use some work...

1) It would be better to have a text input area and have new lines as delimiters rather than "|" symbols.
2) It would be good to be able to see what exists on another catalogue so you can easily duplicate it over.
3) It would be good to be able to create extra categories on an existing catalogue.
4) And given all the above, I don't see why we can't just have it as a feature to completely rework the set of categories on any existing catalogue. So we have a full text box when editing a catalogue that you can add to, remove from, or copy and paste elsewhere from. Obviously it would lose control of category descriptions and other metadata when auto-adding new categories, but that's the trade-off you get with a feature like this.
