Add Swedish relay for club championships for all age categories above 12 years.

I would like to add a Swedish relay for the club championships. All categories will be mixed. I also want U16 and U14 to participate. This is not possible with the standard Swedish relay that is already in Athletics.app, because it is not listed under U14 and U16 when I go to "Categories & Events" and then click on the pencil.

That is why I created my own event via "Categories & Events" >> "Manage custom events" which I named "Swedish Relay Club Championships" (with the Swedish relay as the parent event).

But when I go to "Categories & Events" and click on the pencil (for each category), the event is not listed.

Can someone advise me on what I need to do to fix this?

For reference, I based my approach on the following pages:

Thanks in advance

The reason you cannot add an event for a specific category is due to the scoring formula.
Relay events are always added as single events. You can set a scoring formula for single events, for example the "Dutch Athletics Federation scoring formula". However, the Dutch Athletics Federation has not created a scoring formula for all categories and for all events.

That is why you cannot select an event for a number of categories.
If you do not need points, it is best to change the Scoring formulas for Single events to "No points" or "Points per rank". Then you can select all events.
