When changing the category of an item, only that instance of the item is assigned to the selected category. You can learn more about category sets here.ĪnyList v5.9 changes the way category assignments are handled for duplicate items in a list.

By choosing the active category set for a list, you can quickly change how items in the list are grouped and how the cateogries are sorted. See this page for more details.ĪnyList v5.9 introduces category sets, an advanced feature that allows you to have multiple distinct sets of categories for a single list. Please see the FAQ below for additional details.ĪnyList v5.9 introduces the ability to set the default category for a list. For example, you can now safely rename the categories in one list and not worry about it changing the names of categories in your other lists.Īs a result of these changes, after updating to AnyList v5.9 you may see categories in your shared lists appear in a different order than before and / or items in shared lists may appear in different categories than in previous versions of AnyList. Maintaining categories on a per-list basis also means modifying the categories in one list won't impact the categories in your other lists. (Previously the category assignment was only remembered for the person that made the category assignment.) In addition, items in a shared list will always remember their previous category assignment the next time they are added to that list.

This means all users of a shared list will now see the same categories and any change one person makes to that list's categories will sync to everyone else sharing the list. Starting with AnyList v5.9, categories are maintained on a per-list basis (rather than on a per-user basis as they were before). AnyList v5.9 Release Notes Per-List Categories
