Looking for productCategoryId

[Walter Vaughan]

We currently have 12,327 categories and see a need for many hundreds more.
However that many categories just about kills a webclient pushing all that data
into the productCategoryId dropdown. Some pages (rolllups?) have three of them.

[ What should I ]||[ How should I ] "grep for" in order to find all of these
dropdowns?

We're looking into some other means of getting that data, and we want to find
all of the useages to make sure the solution works everywhere that the
productCategoryId dropdown is currently in place.

Walter,

This is no help, but merely to note I'm interested in the outcomes... I
have thousands of categories too, and in the end had to truncate my
category tree to make things usable. This isn't a big deal for me, but
it would be nice to have the full categorisation for the occasions that
I need them

Cheers, Iain

Walter, Iain,

I can't think of any way to find all of these in an automated way  
without doing a search that would include a lot of "false positives".

These are usually pretty easy to change to an ID entry box with a  
lookup window, and that would be a good way to go for all category  
drop-downs (which pre-date the lookup window functionality and  
pattern in OFBiz).
