It seems every time autopkgr updates the packages it's creating a Testing category in the JSS which also appears in self-service. Is there a way to prevent it from adding that? I've been manually deleting that category but I'm sure there's a better workaround.

Autopkgr adding a self-service category every day?

@cpizanias are you getting the policy in JSS falling into the utilities category - and is text wrangler falling into productivity (you can check in casper admin)? or maybe is another recipe running/creating the testing category?
+17Hi @cpizanias
You'll want to do a recipe override and set the category to wherever you want the policies to end up.
exercise 3a here may help better explain from the great @elliotjordan Auto Update Magic
+7@CasperSally @elliotjordan I tried adding overrides but it still gives me the testing category every day. Am I doing something wrong here?

+7@caspersally it's falling under productivity in casper admin. what happens after autopkgr runs is that it'll put it in the correct category in self-service for example but then putting every recipe in testing as well. i'm stumped.
Maybe I'm using autopkgr wrong? Should I only have it run the override or should it be running both? Currently it's set to run the recipe and the override.
Edit: I didn't realize I should only be running the overrides. Tested that way and now it works. Thanks.
