Fail to assign project category

Question

I am creating project using template "Scrum". Throughout the whole creation process, I am not able to see any setting for me to set the project category. I am also no able to edit the project to set project category. Why?

I discovered only when I choose template "Scrum(Classic)", I am able to set the project category.

Hello, Ethan.

You are welcome. I am also using the Cloud solution when I presented the screen shot to you. Since you are not able to see similar options like what I am seeing on mine:

I suspect that you are using Agility project template instead of Scrum. Can you please further confirm if it is essential for you to use the Project Category field? If yes, I would recommend you to switch to Scrum since that field is not present under the Agility template.

Hi, Ethan.

I had this tested on my end and I was able to configure the project category after I created a new project using the Scrum template under Project Settings. For example:

Can you please create a new project and verify that the same behavior is observed? Also, did you ensure that there were project categories created already?

Looking forward to hear from you again soon.
