I’ve recently created a Team Managed Space in which I added some work items that I want to categorize. But when trying to add a category in the list view as proposed here I’m getting no matches found and the category vaue is not updated.

The suggestion here also does not work. Hovering above the category header does not show the More Actions menu that should let me add cateories. 

Is there another way of adding values to the category list?

Hello @Rony Armon 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

If you place you pointer over the right side of the Category header you should see the ... More Actions option display. Click the ... and select the Edit Field option. That will open a panel on the right for you to add values to your Category list.

Yes, that is correct.

Use the + Add option button below the Field Description area to open a field to add a value that you will then be able to select when editing the Category field in a work item.
