Hi,

I am trying to create a new Category. Navigated to Construction->Browse->TestCases and I clicked on the icon "Manage Test Case Categories".

Issue:- But whenever I create a category,it always appears as dropdown list. Why is it so? Cant I just create a category which is a simple text field where user can enter any value and not required to select a value from a dropdown?


Thanks!

Based on your description, you should create a custom attribute instead of a category.  An attribute works like a category, but instead of a drop down list, it is a free form text box. 

You can find more information about creating attributes in the Knowledge Center at the following link.
