Normal redmine behaviour when deleting unused/old issue categories is, that in old tickets that were once assigned to the now deleted category, you only see the category ID anymore instead of the category name.

So checking back on old issues is always a bit odd as you don't see all the information needed.

This plugin now allows you to archive issue categories. This means, to deactivate and hide them from the user without deleting them. This is nice because it doesn't break old tickets :-)

This plugin is an attempt to solve issue #16188.

Note: Current version of this plugin is only compatible with Redmine 3.0. If you want support for Redmine v2.6, download this package (plugin version 0.2.1)

Is there any way to have set categories globally in order to inherit those to all projects. Plugin for same would most helpful.
