Summary0010325: Move should have the option of changing categories
DescriptionCurrently the Move command only changes the project of the issue, leaving the possibility that the category assigned doesn't exist in the new project. In 1.1.6, the category seems to be created in the project. The user should be prompted for the project.

An AJAX list would be great.

Reminder sent to: jreese

It seems that the conversion to category IDs broke the move functionality. It seems that categories are tied to projects now. When the bug is moved, we need to rethink the categories.

I'll fix this in the next day or so.

When I made the conversion to IDs, I specifically left the functionality as it currently is because I couldn't think of a "good" method of doing the category change without a major change to the user interface. I decided that it'd be best to, rather than try to have Mantis be overly "clever", just ignore the category issue, and wait for a developer/updater to make an intelligent choice to change the category.

However, if you were to succesfully find a way to enhance the move interface to let the user select the new category as part of the move operation, that would be my preferred solution. I just never had the time to implement that myself.
