Description
Using both group user permission and treeConfig.startingPoints on the same category result in not showing the sub categories for the editor :
Expected behavior:
Subcategories under the treeConfig.startingPoints category should be visible in the editor interface, as long as the user has access via Category Mounts.
Actual behavior:
Only the root category set by treeConfig.startingPoints is visible. Its children (subcategories) are not shown, despite being accessible via the group’s Category Mounts.
- Set TCEFORM.pages.categories.config.treeConfig.startingPoints = [id of a category with children]
- Assign a backend user group with Category Mounts including the same root category.
- Log in as a backend user from that group and open a page with a category field.
- Observe that only the root category is shown, not the subcategories.
- Adding a subcategory to the treeConfig.startingPoints configuration make the other subcategories appear
Config : TCEFORM.pages.categories.config.treeConfig.startingPoints = 3,4
Result :
I can reproduce this issue with both TYPO3 V12 and V13.
