Category Parent

This drop-down list allows you to create a hierarchical relationship between categories. The list dynamically contains all existing categories for this category group. Selecting a parent category means that the new category will be a “child” of the parent in the hierarchy. The “None” option is available and will make the new category a “top level” category with no parent.
