There is a free-form Category field on item. Last use 2019. Path to getting rid of it (may need to create ItemCategories for those, etc.)

[cielf]

Summary

Confirm that free-from category on item is not used by anything. If it is not, create a migration to remove the column.

Why?

Keeping things clean.

Details

This is the category field, rather than the item_category relationship, or the reporting_category

We think that item_category replaced the functionality for category back in 2019, but there is still data in the field.

Criteria for completion

• Do a throrough check to determine that category is not still used anywhere.
• Write a migration to remove category from item
• confirm that item-related tests pass afterward
