Site Directory is Petarded

I’m using trying to use the Site Directory Template. Out of the box, it creates “categories” for Division and Region. Of course I want to use my own categories and I remove those for my own. Being of a database driven mentality, I of course make my columns lookup columns to be driven from list values that I’ll be using over and over throughout my site; Department and Location. So why can’t I get these new columns to show up in the “Categories” tab?

Because only “choice” columns are made into Categories. And those choices are “hard coded” inside the column definition.

Grrrrr.
