Description
Description
When you have a category field and a limit to select only one category for an entry, then it is still possible to select multiple categories (using shift + click or cmd + click or ctrl+click), although only one will actually be used when clicking the button to use the selected categories
Steps to reproduce
- Add a category field to an entry that is limited for 1 category selection
- Select multiple categories by using shift + click or cmd + click (on windows ctrl + click)
- Now click the bottom right button in the popup to use the selected categories
- Only one of the selected categories will be used in the entry.
