In Joomla 4.3.4 I have created a menu item Create Article for a specific category. When I try to access this edit view I get the following error:
0 htmlspecialchars(): Argument #1 ($string) must be of type string, array given
The call stack looks like this:
# Function Location

The code around line 103 of administrator/components/com_categories/layouts/joomla/form/field/categoryedit.php is as follows:
94 if ($multiple && is_array($value)) {
95 if (!count($value)) {
96 $value[] = '';
97 }
98
99. foreach ($value as $val) {
100 $html[] = '<input type="hidden" name="' . $name . '" value="' . htmlspecialchars($val, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8') . '">';
101 }
102 } else {
103 $html[] = '<input type="hidden" name="' . $name . '" value="' . htmlspecialchars($value , ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8') . '">';
104 }```
What am I missing?
