Issue category dropdown not showing current categories

I'm using Jira Cloud and my project type is "Team-managed business." A couple months ago I set up categories under: `Jira admin settings > Projects > Project categories`

My TODO project immediately picked up those categories as expected. However, I've since renamed one of my four categories and then added a fifth. The new category list appears when I'm looking at my project's Details page. But the old list shows when I'm creating or editing an issue within that project.

I've tried everything, I've searched everywhere, I've asked my favorite LLMs about this, but I just can't seem to find a solution. This feels like either:

  1. It's a bug
  2. Or my expectations about how this is supposed to work are wrong

Any ideas?
