When I create a new article in the News administration of tt_news in Typo3 6.2, I am not able to select any categories in the "Options" window of the news, as there are none listed. But I have categories created and I can assign already existing new to categories, if I select it in the "Items" window of the category itself.
In image 1 you can see there are no categories listed, when creating or editing news entries, although there are some.
When I try to assign news to a category in the list module (opening the category and assigning a news item to it via "Items" section) it works, as you can see in image 2.
I have looked up if I need to specify for tt_news where the categories are stored, but I have not been able to find anything and I cannot remember doing so in the past (for other pages). Did I miss anything?
