moving Categories data from Discussions to post
I am creating categories is there a way to copy and paste in it different mod I'm trying not have to write it so many times

Have you tried to add the block of categories to the post page?

Thanks for your reply. Went studio/builder_forms.php?page=fields and add it but it still want me to re enter all the categories
-
Did I do something wrong ?

I type about 300 categories -> Discussions (/studio/builder_forms.php?page=categories) and I am trying to add it to the rest of the categories. I saw category photo etc but not in discussions

Hello, i think i know what your trying to do, so basically if you have in let's say the discussion module 30 different categories, you then want to copy all those 30 categories to the post mod? If that's the case i don't think you can copy them over. I remember when building my site, i had to write all categories one by one to other modules. Perhaps Alexey or LeonidS can help you out further or Baloo
Remember that before you make any core changes or modifications, back up your site.

Hi all!
If those categories were added via Data Lists then it's possible to do the following MySQL query (backup the table `sys_form_pre_values` first):
INSERT INTO `sys_form_pre_values` (`Key`, `Value`, `Order`, `LKey`, `LKey2`)
SELECT 'bx_posts_cats', `Value`, `Order`, `LKey`, `LKey2` FROM `sys_form_pre_values` WHERE `Key`='bx_forum_cats';

Haha I think I should have read this before :-) I went to studio -> forms -> data lists -> click on values for forums categories -> click on Add New items
I type all of the items I wanted
Went to displays choose the mod -> add album - Field - add new field choose -> select -> values --> forum categories and actative it
And repeat it for add the mod and place I want it to show up
