Describe the bug When you define a set of parameters for a given part category, those are not automatically applied for a new part of this category.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to Tools/Edit/Categories menu
  2. Choose a part category
  3. klick on the Parameters Tab
  4. define a set of parameters
  5. save changes
  6. Go to Categories/
  7. click on [+] create new part
  8. switch to parameters tab
  9. no predefined parameters here

Expected behavior The predefined parameters appearing here would be very desireable

The category parameters (similar to the other kind of parameters) are to define the category further and allows to specify further properties. Not the parts contained in them. Think of a footprint, where you can specify the package sizes and things like number of pins in the parameters.

To be able to define some kind of default parameters for new parts in certain categories or so, this would be a new feature.
