[5.x]: Category setting not being saved without an error.

[bob-pixeldeluxe]

What happened?

Description

I wanted to create a category which creates an dynamic background pattern which can be reused on pages. Now i want the customer to be able to use the live preview without necessarily an url. So im trying to save the category with just a template path and no url format. However after saving the category is unchanged and there is no error message. (I've solved this another way but thought I should report it)

Steps to reproduce

1. create a category group.
2. after creation edit it and under site settings add just a template path no URI format and save.
3. check if the input was saved.

Expected behavior

Either it should work or there should be an error that the url is required.

Actual behavior

Input is not saved.

This is expected behavior. The placeholder text within the “Category URI Format” column says “Leave blank if categories don’t have URLs”. If the categories don’t have URLs for a site, the Template value will be discarded.
