Title: Feature Request: Allow Downloads in Multiple Categories
Post by: tussockstud on 09.03.2026 04:30:23
Hello JDownloads team,

I would like to suggest a feature that allows a single download item to be assigned to multiple categories.

Currently, each download can only be placed in one category, which makes it harder to organize files that may belong to different sections of a website, such as manuals, updates, or resources.

Could you please let me know if this functionality is planned for future versions? If not, is there any recommended workaround to achieve similar behavior with the current version of JDownloads?

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hi
Yes this is available. You need multiple Downloads but they can all use the same downloadable 'file'.
One Download needs to be as usual but the others need to 'point' to the originl Download

When you create a Download then in the Files Data tab you can use the Option 'Or select file from an existing Download'.

Hi,
Version 6 will provide a solution here. See pic.
However, this version is still in development and will (probably) not be released before May.
