not sure i totally understand what your asking.

If your asking "Is there a way to pre-set the category choices for something" then yes. If its done via the Form Designer, you can use the | to set the choices.

Docs with some pics from the ujCategories documentation:

"ujCategories"
https://www.jamroom.net/ultrajam/documentation/modules/1284/ujcategories

Basically if you want to add a specific set of genres to the audio module, you would create a 'genre' select list in the Form Designer and put in

rock|Rock
r-n-b|R&B
top_40|Top 40

No, ujCategories wont do that for you.

Look at jrBlog to see how its done.

Thats what I just described above.
* use the Form Designer
* input the categories in the format above to stop allowing user input.

I think the default is "select and text" change it to just select.
