I have created a new category using the script below. Once I have created the category using the script, then added a subcategory through admin, The category checkbox tree will not load on the Catalog Price Rules page.
Marketing->Catalog Price Rules->Add New Rule->Conditions->(+)->Please Select a Condition to Add->Category->(...)->(open Chooser)(This is the option right next to the input field
It appears there is an error causing the script to reload the category in an infinite loop.
