Issue

Users get an error when trying to retrieve information about category changed by scheduled update via GraphQL.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set up a category structure with a sub-category as given below:

   
   - Root
    - Some category
         - Some child category
   
   

2. Execute GraphQL query with "Some Category" ID 49.

    
    query {
     category(id: 49) {
      name
      children {
        name
       }
     }
   }
   
   

   Result:

    
    {
      "data": {
        "category": {
          "name": "Some category",
          "children": [
            {
              "name": "Some child category"
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    }
    
    

3. Create a schedule update for "Some Category" with a different category name.
