Show idea categories hierarchy in automations

What is the challenge?

Idea categories are commonly used as a trigger for an automation - for example, assign idea to a specific Aha! user based on the idea category.

When you use the categories field in an automation, the hierarchy of categories is not respected. Instead it shows as a flat list and subcategories are not shown grouped by their parent category.

What is the impact?

Makes it difficult for users to be confident they are selecting the proper subcategory to trigger an automation. Some use cases have subcategories with similar names("Product X - API", "Product Y - API" for example). Not seeing the parent category makes it near impossible to assure I select the proper subcategory.

Describe your idea
