I found Lars' post on categories for logger: http://www.collaboraid.biz/developer/blog/one-entry?entry%5fid=23770

Apparently he ran into the same problem. I think the place to store this is in the mapping table from trees to objects (package_ids by deafault). But it also might be better to restrict or allow per tree only. That way all objects mapped to the same tree have the same single or multiple ability regardless of which package they are under.

Dave,

Sounds good to me.

It definitely belongs in the object-tree mapping table, and having a default for the tree is sensible.

Updating the form widget to honor the setting should be straight-forward.

Ok. I will put this on my todo-list for categories (i'm currently working on extending it's functionality anyways).
