Notes

Check that you did the following:

  • Put the category in the template itself
  • Make sure that there is a default form associated with the template
 {{#default_form:McNair Projects}}
 [[category:McNair Projects]]

Use simple assignment whenever possible: 

| label6       = Start Date
| data6        =

If you have to use an array ref, here's the syntax: 

| label5      = Owner
| data5       =
