Hi everyone!
The problem is.
We make a ToDo Item.
We choose a category.
We mark it as a Group task.
“Participants” tab appears.
We choose participants from adressbook and “Save and send assignments”.
AND! Participants receive their ToDo’s WITHOUT categories.
?
What can I change in a Mail/Todo database to send that “categories” item?
Thanks in advance,
Dmitry.
Subject: “ToDo->Participants->Categories” are not sent!
Lotus Notes KB states that this has happened all the way back to R3.x (maybe before)
WHat happens is the field Categories gets renamed to FormCategories and Categories has the entry(s) removed.
My speculation is that a persons profile contains “standard” categories and “custom” categories and as an external source cannot see these Lotus has just shifted the value out of the way.
Quoting Lotus “there are no plans to fix this” that was back in R5
but hey, I would also like to know a work around for this.
Cheers

Hi,
we are using Notes 6.5.4 and had the same problem.
My workaround was to add this tree lines to the QueryOpen-Event in the task form:
If source.document.Categories(0)=“” And source.document.FromCategories(0)<>""Then
source.document.Categories = source.document.FromCategories(0)
End If
Hope this will help you
