So the plugin did not answer exactly my need, so I went to the [edition of the index.php](https://forum.getkirby.com/t/custom-blueprint-for-different-roles/12272/2) file, and duplicated 5 times the blueprints directory… 😑 Then edited each pages/article.yml to restrict the value.

From :

```
...
fields:
  category:
	type: select
	max: 1
	options: query
	query: page.parent.categories.split

```

To :

```
...
fields:
  category:
	type: hidden
	default: The forced category for that role

```

And it seems to be working ! It might not be very efficient, but for now it will do nicely 🙂

Thanks to all,

j.
