Categories: Can't assign a category template (Perch Runway)

I'm unable to assign a category template to a category.

Under "Set Options" the category template shows up in the select dropdown normally. I select it, save changes, get the confirmation message ("Your set has been successfully edited. Return to category listing")

Yet it's not actually saved, the default "Category" template is still used.

Perch Runway: 2.8.2, PHP: 5.5.21, MySQL: 5.1.73, with PDO
Server OS: Linux, cgi-fcgi
Installed apps: content (2.8.2), assets (2.8.2), categories (2.8.2), perch_blog (4.6), collection_2 (2.8.2), collection_1 (2.8.2)
App runtimes: <?php $apps_list = array( 'content', 'categories', 'perch_blog', );

PERCH_PATH: /nfs/mnt/1234/domains/xxx/html/cms
PERCH_CORE: /nfs/mnt/1234/domains/xxx/html/cms/core
PERCH_RESFILEPATH: /nfs/mnt/1234/domains/xxx/html/cms/resources

REQUEST_URI: /cms/core/settings/diagnostics/

It doesn't matter which category template I choose, it's not saved.

Here is the category template I'd like to use:

<perch:category id="catDepth" type="hidden" /><figure id="client-<perch:category id="catSlug" type="slug" for="catTitle" />" class="item w1">
    <img src="<perch:category id="logo" type="image" bucket="clients" width="678" height="450" density="2" crop="true" label="Logo" order="2" required="true" />" alt="<perch:category id="catTitle" type="smarttext" label="Title" required="true" order="1" />" width="678" height="450" class="thumb" />
</figure><perch:category id="desc" type="textarea" label="Description" editor="markitup" markdown="true" size="s" suppress="true" />

Does the form persist the change?

Yes, the form keeps displaying "Category" regardless of the option chosen and saved.

So by yes you mean no?

Sorry, I mean that the form keeps the default value regardless of the template chosen.

Are you sure you're using Perch 2.8.2?

Yes, I'm running 2.8.2 and tried a forced update to 2.8.2 to be extra sure all tables are created

Ok, I'll need to take another look at this.

Thanks Drew, there's no rush as I've found a workaround using relationships instead of categories.
