## Category on ProductInput

In 2024-04 we released a new Taxonomy API for products. This included introducing a new [TaxonomyCategory](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-07/objects/TaxonomyCategory) type and updating the product type to return a new category field. 

As of 2024-07 the ProductInput type will also accept a [category field](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-07/input-objects/ProductInput#field-productinput-category) that accepts the GID of a category. 

We've also deprecated `shop.allProductCategories` in favor of [`shop.allProductCategoriesList`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-07/objects/Shop#field-shop-allproductcategorieslist)
