@mwweb I picked this up on the Recipe Manager as well. The Category field's code name SHOULD ALWAYS be catid. It was a issue on the Recipe Manager but we have fixed it and will be pushing out the update soon. But the main thing here is that in Joomla five for the category field to work correctly, using the Joomla categories, it should be catid.
