List Content Type Item Categories Disappear

In SF 4.4, when creating or editing a list item and specifying categories, saving or publishing the item does not retain the specified categories as with other content types.

Steps to reproduce problem:

1. Create a list item.
2. Expand "Categories" and check 1 or more categories.
3. Click "Done".
4. Click "Publish".
5. Go back into the list item's properties and none of the previously assigned categories are there.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Telerik Support.  

Unfortunately, I did not manage to reproduce this behavior on my side with 4.4RTM installed. Please see attached video and let me know if I'm missing something.  

Hi Sonya,

Hi,

Is this behavior appeared after an upgrade or clean install? From what version? Does this happen for all content types as News, Blogs, etc.? Is this behavior valid for all browsers?

This is occurring on an upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4. The categories feature for the List content type was new to SF in 4.4, so we didn't have that ability prior. This issue affects only Lists, as we are able to successfully assign categories to all other content types, including content types created with the new Module Builder.

Hi,Thank you for providing us with the additional information. 

I've managed to reproduce the problem locally and, the problem appears only after upgrade.  The issue is logged in our system and forwarded for fixing.  You can monitor the status of the bugs in our issue tracking system PITS. The issue ID is 9209. 
As a workaround I suggest that you do the following:
1. Go to List items and click Custom fields for list items  link
2. Click 'Add a field...' button
3. Under Add a field  dialog

• select Type=Classification
• select Classification=Categories
• enter  Name=Category
• select  Interface widget for selecting classification items = Tree-like selector (select from a tree)
