IDOL Category Component 23.4

# CategorySetDetails

Allows you to set details for a category. You can also use `CategorySetDetails` to create new fields in a category.

NOTE: This is an administrative action that can be sent only by users that belong to an authorization role that allows the `Admin` standard role, or which enables the action explicitly. See Authorization Roles Configuration Parameters.

You must specify one of the following parameter combinations for `CategorySetDetails`:

- Name

- Fields and Values

Four special Fields are available, which you can use to control the terms that are included in a category.

NOTE: A category cannot have the same name as another category with the same immediate parent category.

## Examples

    http://12.3.4.56:9020/action=CategorySetDetails&Category=324987602&Fields=AUTHOR,WORK&Values=Austen,Emma

This action sets the value of the `AUTHOR` field for the category with the ID `324987602` to `Austen`, and the value of the `WORK` field to `Emma`. If the `AUTHOR` and `WORK` fields do not exist in the category, they are added to it with the specified values.

    http://12.3.4.56:9020/action=CategorySetDetails&Category=324987602&Fields=MaxTerms,MinTermWeight&Values=200,3

This action uses the special fields MaxTerms and MinTermWeight to set the maximum number of terms for the category with the ID `324987602` to `200`, and to set the minimum weight that any term included in the category must have to `3`.
