copy attributes to a category - drop down limited to 72 categories - I have more?

[SarahL]

This is one thing I have not come across before - so wondering if someone has an idea of why and what is happening,

I have LOTS of categories - 100's and I want to copy some attributes from one category to another - simple - I can do it in admin via the "copy to category" buttons - however for some reason in the drop downs that appear for you too select the category to "copy into" it doesn't display all - only displays 72.... ie stops at letter L and I have too Z

Any ideas - time out issue or ??

Stop sat same place on the attributes controller screen as well as the fly out box on the catalog>products screen also

Version 139h

Any ideas of where to start looking!?

Thanks
Sarah

Stupid stupid - please ignore this was my fault - there was no products in those categories hence they didn't show - as soon as categories were inserted it showed up!!

Sometimes it pays to walk away and mull it over!!

Sorry for being so dumb :)

Thanks

Thanks for the update that this is working and for helping others better understand why some categories will show and others will not ...

No problem I use these forums so much that I know how its bets to include a "answer" rather than a "solved it" as that doesn't help anyone later on :) But then doubt anyone will be a daft as me on this one!!
