Error: 'ParentID' appears twice

Hi,

I'm trying to create a new dataobject called Category. You can have categories and sub-categories so I'm trying to code it so that a Category object can have another Category object as it's parent (has_one) or it can have multiple "Category" objects (has_many).

I thought this would be quite simple but I can't work out how to get around this error (see title of post). This is what I have so far:

[code]
class Category extends DataObject {
static $db = array(
'Name' => 'Text',
"Type" => "Enum('Business, Event, Community', 'Business')"
);
static $default_sort = "Name";

static $has_one = array(
'Parent' => 'Category'
);
static $has_many = array(
'Children' => 'Category'
);

function getCMSFields_forPopup() {
$fields = new FieldSet();
$fields->push( new TextField( 'Name' ) );
$fields->push( new DropdownField("ParentID", "Parent Category", array()));
$fields->push( new DropdownField("Type", "Type",
array(
'Business' => 'Business',
'Event' => 'Event',
'Community' => 'Community'
)
));
return $fields;
}
}
[/code]

I can see that it's not happy with the field I'm trying to create where you select the parent Category (or leave empty if it's a top-level category). How do I do this?? Are there any examples I can look at in one of the modules? I looked at the Post object in the Forum module but it's slightly different.

Thanks.
