Summary0013988: There is no ability to create Sub-Categories, but probably we can just update the interface an simulate groups
Description

The categorie-list is just a long set of strings. But with just a small update to the function print_category_option_list in print_api.php we can make it a little bit more readable.

The idea is to define a seperator (in my examle it is the string " - " and enter categories like this:

Hardware
Hardware - RAM
Hardware - HDD
Hardware - HDD - IDE
Hardware - HDD - SATA
Hardware - FDD
Software
Software - Firefox

and convert it into this:

Hardware
RAM
HDD
IDE
SATA
FDD
Software
Firefox

As option we could use the good old DOS-knowledge und don't just use spaces but lines:

Hardware
├──RAM
├──HDD
│ ├──IDE
│ └──SATA
└──FDD
Software
└──Firefox

Additional Information

I made a entry in the MantisBT-Forum about this (in german) with the updated print_api.php
