While creating List with content type using CSOM why do we get "Post category does not exist" error?

Question

I am trying to create List with content type using CSOM. But I ma getting "Post category does not exist" error in response.

PostCategory is internal name for Category Field which appears when we try to add new item to the list of Custom type and that field is not showing any value.

Steps to reproduce:

1.Create List in the site.

2.Create 'Custom Type' of Type 'List'

3.In List advance setting set allow management of Custom type =true.

4. Try adding new item to list of custom type.
5. Category field does not show any value.

Hi @Mansur Patel,You could use following csom code to enable the content type first

using (ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext("http://MyServer/sites/MySiteCollection"))
{
// clientcontext.Web.Lists.GetById - This option also can be used to get the list using List GUID
//This value is NOT List internal name
List olist = clientcontext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("New title");
olist.ContentTypesEnabled = true;
olist.Update();
clientcontext.ExecuteQuery();
}

@RaytheonXie_MSFT Thank you for your reply.

I have already set this property and it is not working. I have also tried removing Post Category from ClientContext. still I get same issue.
