Hi,
@aspirationimages
If you don't see these two parameters it means that you're editing a brand. If you do see these, it means that you're editing a product category.
It's not linked to the description. It's linked to the category_type of the category in the database which is based on the parent element.
It's possible that you get display issues if the type doesn't correspond to where the element is.
For example, if you have a brand type element in the tree of product categories, or a product category type element under the main brand element, it could lead to display issues.
