Additional Information
This is expected behavior. The filter list should come from the category schema set in the organization properties not an individual items category value.Workaround
Use the gis.admin.category_schema method with to create a category schema object and use the categorize_item method to implement category assignment procedure on each individual item.
This works on the portal item page UI and when searching for the item via a category filter in Map Viewer.
