Hi Crizelle,

we do not plan to support categories for tracker. The "tracker" domain type
includes both single event and tracker programs. I know it is a bit
misleading, we could potentially use "events" instead.

As mentioned before, we do not plan to support multiple selection within an
option set, mainly because it will limit the analysis which can be done at
a later stage.

regards,

Lars
