When you try to assign a parent to a category that is assigned an asset group that is a child to another asset group, the

Parent Category

field displays only the categories that are within the category's asset group. The field doesn't display the categories within the category's own asset group's parental hierarchy.

For example, consider a category

US-Retail

that is added to the asset group

US-Personnel

. The

US-Personnel

asset group contains 2 other categories and the

US-Personnel

asset group is a child of another asset group

Global-Personnel

that contains 8 categories. When you try assign a parent category to

US-Retail

, the

Parent Category

field displays only the 2 categories within the

US-Personnel

asset group instead of 10 categories from both the

US-Personnel

and

Global-Personnel

asset groups.

Workaround

: Remove the asset group from the category to which you want to assign a parent category. After you have assigned a parent category, you can add the asset group back to the category.

You can't create an unpublished data collection in a category for which you are responsible even if you are assigned the Category Owner user role.
