Summary0006150: Should Category inheritance be a preference?
Description

Currently, parent projects inherit Categories from subprojects. This creates confusion as to which project Category you're actually reporting.

Based on user feedback, would it be possible to disable the Category inheritance as a boolean preference or disallow inheritance completely?

TagsNo tags attached.

It would be really useful, if inheritance of categories could be disabled. As an alternative the "namespace" of the category should be displayed (eg. "subproject1.categoryname")

So. Now that I (rather inadvertently) clicked on the "Sponsor"-Button, I owe the Project $10. As I consider this bug an important matter, I'm perfectly willing to pay my debt. But how ? Paypal ? Credid Card ? Actually I don't really understand the whole Sponsorship bussiness ...

I hope there will be a flag added to disable the inheritance of categories, because the autoassignment of bugs does not work properly with it.

I modified print_api.php in the installation in my company to disable the inheritance of categories.

My temporary solution is:

diff print_api.php print_api_new.php

486c486,488
< $t_project_where = helper_project_specific_where( $c_project_id );

          // OSS - MF2005 - don't show categories from subprojects
          $t_project_where = ' project_id='.$c_project_id;
          // $t_project_where = helper_project_specific_where( $c_project_id );

-- just a reminder on this bug --

maybe an option in the config_inc.php can control the where in the query

Currently, parent projects inherit Categories from subprojects.
This is not true in 1.2

When creating subprojects there is a checkbox "Inherit Parent Categories"
