Category Tracker Field
The field type enables you to assign one or more categories to a tracker item.
The categories that are displayed are the children of one category. This parent category must be identified by its category ID.
Once tracker item is categorized, it inherits Category Permissions if applicable as per Permission Enforcement Order
