Hi @Wendy Grapentine , unfortunately you can't get it back (that's why we show that big scary warning asking you to type the field name before confirming). You'll have to re-create it...

If you look in the "history" tab for each idea, you can find which value it had for that field.

Isn‘t that just a single select tag field?

Yes! This saved me @Dirk Lachowski ; I had the same issue as @Wendy Grapentine but just adding the field 'Category' with type 'select' field worked!
