    Is is possible to setup a custom related field, that displays a category from the gallery, instead of each individual photo uploaded?

    What version and build of EE are you using? Do you mean to create a relationship with a category instead of a single entry?

    I’m afraid a relationship is always between two entries, not a category as such. You’d need to find an alternative approach here, unfortunately.

    johnmck,

    Our own Robin created a gallery relationship extension some time back. The thread has long since been pruned but you could try contacting her to see if it still exists on her machine
