Hello,

I'm also interested in knowing how to do what is described in the original description (i.e., ensure that reporters cannot choose certain categories when reporting an issue, but preserve those categories for view/filtering purposes on existing issues).

Thanks,
Ryan.

Also voting for this feature. Would be good for dealing with categories that still exist in archived projects but are no longer relevant.

This will be fixed in upcoming version 2.27.0, see 0031017.

Normally it is the newer issue that is marked as duplicate and closed, but considering that the commits in PR https://github.com/mantisbt/mantisbt/pull/1853 reference it, it's easier to resolve this one instead.
