Sharepoint Columns

Copper Contributor

Hello and sorry for my question, I know it will be a no brainer for some folks. I have taken over Sharepoint for my company. The guy who was doing it before referred to it as a "Janky" setup. My question is, how can I create another Category and SubCategory like "Category: Fleet Licenses"? Or is there a way to copy it so that I can make it "Category: Fleet Licenses 2020"? I have attached an example. I also apologize if I am not using the correct terminology.

That looks like a standard 'Choice' field in a list. All you need to do is add new options.

If they are, try this.

 

When viewing the list - go to the gear icon and choose 'list settings'.

Scroll down and find the 'Category' choice field.

You'll see the section that defines the options - add your new one there. 

I wouldn't change the original - that might mean that other items will lose their category. Move it to the bottom of the option list so it's out of the way.

 

Then change your other choice field 'Subcategory' the same way.
