    So the title of this post says it all. I used form customization to to move a TV to the main document tab - easy. But when I click on the template variable tab, the category that this TV belongs to still shows up there. How can I hide the category from the template variables tab?

          So, as no one responded, I assume I was not clear enough. Here are some screenshots of the manager. The first one shows how the radio TV appears on the document tab on the form, and the second shows that on the TV tab on the form, that the category shows up.

          I want to know how to hide the category from the TV tab. Maybe this is a bug?

            You could use an element category ACL to hide it.

                Hmm I read the documentation,but I don't think that will help me. I want the usergroup to see the TV. I want them to see it though on the document settings page (which I accomplished) but I want the category to not show up under the TV tab...

                      This still seems to happen in 2.3.3 - is there any solution for this?
