Is there anyway to restrict user from creating new cat when "Input type: Input Text" for cat field.

[kabirbd89]

In my site there is 600+ category and 900+ user. Its painful for user to select the specific category they supposed to post. But for 600 cat its tough to find out the specific category they are are try to post.

I enable "Input type: Input Text" for category input field. so that user can write the first one or two character of cat and select the category from suggestion based on there search.

Now the pain part,
If user put any text in category field and there is no existing category, a new category will be created. I assume this ability giver by default is there anyway to restrict user from creating new cat when "Input type: Input Text"

Is there anyway to stop user being creating category but chose from an existing one.

TIA

@kabirbd89 yes the ability is given by default and you cannot restrict it. We will review the scope and try to add an option for the admin. For now, you can use the Select option for Type in the Category fields (I understand that you have lots of categories).

@anik-fahmid thank you for your response. I am waiting for this feature.
