• new multi-select dropdown for exercise categories in Settings
• persistent storage of selected categories using existing settings store

• default behavior remains unchanged when no categories are selected (all allowed)

@aman-coder03 I’ve updated the issue linked to your PR - will need an additional select dropdown for exercises

[aman-coder03]

sure! working on it! @brysonbw

[aman-coder03]

@brysonbw Ihave implemented the multi-select dropdowns for both exercise categories and individual exercises as requested. The settings now persist correctly and filtering logic has been updated accordingly.

@brysonbw i have implemented the changes, you can have a look!!

Ok, smooth. Thanks. Might want to rebase and get latest changes from main - I added select fields as well alongside other changes

[aman-coder03]

done, you can have a look!!

It seems when you merged and grabbed latest you resolved merge conflicts by accepting your current changes and not incoming (main). Thus, your diff files shows latest main changes being deleted - maybe try undoing latest merge commit on your branch and rebase from main or merge main into your branch again?

[aman-coder03]

can you please tell me what should I do here?

can you please tell me what should I do here?

Give this a try:

1. git pull upstream main in your forked repo main branch
2. cd into feature branch and run git rebase main
3. Your editor or IDE should show merge conflicts and allow you to chose to accept current or incoming (main) changes or both. After seeing conflicts, I think you might want to accept both. Afterwards, double check after accepting both that you still have your changes

Synced my branch with latest main, resolved all conflicts, and updated the PR @brysonbw

@aman-coder03 Thanks. Instead of adding comment reviews on the PR, I think collaborating directly is smoother. I also pushed some changes to your working branch. Initially, I was thinking both could be dropdowns. Yet, I think having category tabs with corresponding multi-select exercise dropdowns would be smoother but open to something else if you think differently

If you agree, I left a TODO comment for you here (https://github.com/aman-coder03/studytimer.io/blob/feature/exercise-category-dropdown/src/pages/home.js#L472) to populate exercises table based on settings form category exercises selections

@aman-coder03 Thank you for your efforts in looking into this. After reviewing the issue, I don’t believe it qualifies as a “good first issue,” so I’ll assign it to myself for now. I really appreciate your help, and I’m sure there will be other issues better suited to pick up. Likewise, I will close this PR
