We wish to import historical data into a Category at the dataset level. This option need only exist for historical purposes… no new data will be entered into this category going forward. We would like to prevent users from accessing this category option when performing data entry (but still have access to the other options in this same category) going forward. Is there a way to hide this one option from the data entry screen but enable it for reporting historical data along with current data?

To limit access to the category option for data entry, one option would be to achieve this through sharing. You can
Go to the category option sharing
Set public to none
For reporting purposes, you can create a category option group and category option group set. These can either be public (view only would be fine) or share with relevant user groups if relevant.
I am assuming that you are referring to data set category options. So, Categories with Attribute Data Dimension Type.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Busoye
