Bug

Body

When using said feature, if the repository is configured with categories you have to choose from, the URL loses the permalink, from https://github.com/<org>/<repo>/discussions/new?permalink=xxx to a generic https://github.com/<org>/<repo>/discussions/new/choose, and after making the choice, nothing is referenced.
An error appears on the selection page:

Sorry, we didn't recognize that category! Please choose one of the following valid categories.
