You can change how the category is manage in the view so, if there is a parameter in the URL (or in the form), it will set the category automatically as an hidden field (so the vendor won't see the field at all). Thanks to that, you will be able to create different links for the product creation and pass each time the selected category ID. For sure, it could be better to check the parameter to be sure that the vendor won't try to add the product anywhere (but HikaMarket already perform these check during the product save and will put the product in the vendor main category if there is a problem).

But what i can tell you is that it concern the block which start with Code: if(@$this->product->product_type != 'variant' && hikamarket::acl('product/edit/category')) { ?> and which use a namebox for the category selection.
