AI-generatedSummary
Create a Joomla content category with a required title and optional settings for its alias, description, language, parent category, publish state, multilingual associations, and custom fields. The node sends a POST request to Joomla’s /content/categories endpoint, with the category extension set to com_content.
Inputs
- Title (required) — Title for the category.
- Additional Fields — Optional alias, description, language, parent category, publish state, and associations. Associations can be entered as a JSON object mapping other language codes to category IDs; omit the category’s own language. Empty optional values are excluded from the request.
- Custom Fields — Add one or more category custom fields by name or ID and set each value. String values containing commas are split into trimmed arrays, for example checkbox values.
Output shape
A single item containing Joomla’s API response for the created category.
The response is returned as JSON. With Continue On Fail enabled, an error is returned as an item containing an
errormessage.
