Add newly created ItemType in custom Category(TOC Access)

Question

Hello,
&nbsp;&nbsp; I have imported a package with a custom solution which has an ItemType "New ItemType" in a Category1. But in this package I haven`t added the List "Categories" so when I imported it, there was no value "Category1", which is normal. Anyways somehow the category exists(only in the TOC not in the List of categories).

My question is how could I add to this category "Category1" a new ItemType "ItemType2" that I want to create? When I didn`t export the list "Categories" and so in it, it doesn`t exist the value "Category1". Should I create again this Category1 in the list "Categories" in order to add this new "ItemType2" to Category1?
I would appreciate any help! Thank you!
Regards,
Dara

Hi Dara,
The behavior you're seeing is interesting! I believe that&nbsp;since the "TOC Access" item exists as part of your exported ItemType, when the TOC is built, that "TOC Access" item is found and populated.&nbsp;
To answer your question, adding "category1" to your "Categories" list is your best bet. Without adding that item to the list, you won't be able to assign item2 to your new category, since you'll be unable to select it when assigning TOC Acess to ItemType2.

Ni AJ Sebastian,
Thank you for the quick reply, appreciate it! If I do so, could I be able to export and import properly? Because I already tried this and when I import I get the following error:
****ErrorMessage****Import package ARAS.Solution.Simulation failed with message:&lt;SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV=""&gt;schemas.xmlsoap.org/.../"&gt;&lt;SOAP-ENV:Body&gt;&lt;SOAP-ENV:Fault xmlns:af=""&gt;www.aras.com/.../faultcode&gt;&lt;faultstring&gt;&lt;![CDATA[ITPresentationConfiguration already exists.]]&gt;&lt;/faultstring&gt;&lt;detail&gt;&lt;af:legacy_detail&gt;&lt;![CDATA[ITPresentationConfiguration already exists.]]&gt;&lt;/af:legacy_detail&gt;&lt;af:legacy_faultstring&gt;&lt;![CDATA[Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint.]]&gt;&lt;/af:legacy_faultstring&gt;&lt;/detail&gt;&lt;/SOAP-ENV:Fault&gt;&lt;/SOAP-ENV:Body&gt;&lt;/SOAP-ENV:Envelope&gt;Updating package to failed release status&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;********************
Thank you again!

Does this happen only when you add the updated "categories" list to your package?

I didn`t add it, because I considered that whenever I import it will happen the same as the first time(that even when I don`t have the List in my package, my "ItemType2" will be under "Category1").
If I want to include the List in my package, how could I do it, taking into account that it is in a core package? If I export only the List would the core package import properly?

You are able to create a package with the same name as the core package, and only include the category list inside of it. This way when you run the package, the only thing which will be imported and overwritten is the categories list. Since everything else already exists, the rest of the package will remain unaffected.

I just tested this, by exporting only the categories list from an environment. I was able to then import just the single categories list back into my database without issues.&nbsp;
