Cannot Create Category From List View

[norfleetbrock]

I cannot create categories for tasks. I am using a Business-Space. When typing into add category section it doesn't allow me to save my changes.

Hello @norfleetbrock 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

To create new Categories you have to type the name into the Category field in an existing issue (in List view) and then click the name in the drop down where is says (New category).

Hi @norfleetbrock 

It seems you’re working in the List view of a Jira Business project.
Only space admins can create, edit, or delete categories.
Regular users can select from the existing ones, but they don’t have permission to add new categories directly from the List view.

Hope it helps!
