Ask automatic for each category?

I am planning on having a lot of categories, when on the ask page it has a huge list to choose the category.

Is there a way to integrate the Ask on the current page (current category) rather than moving away from the page?

Hi Rahul:
Thanks for your reply.
The error still exist. This is the full code:

div class="ap-list-head clearfix">
 <div class="pull-right">
  global $question_category;
  $ask_url = ap_get_link_to( 'ask' );
  if( !empty( $question_category->term_id ) ) {
       $ask_url = $ask_url . '?form_question[category]=' . $question_category->term_id;
  }
   echo '<a class="ap-btn-ask" href="' . $ask_url . '">' 
         . __( 'Ask question', 'anspress-question-answer' ) 
         . '</a>';
 </div>

Thanks Rahul.
I tried to add this code to functions.php in my child theme.
No luck, any other idea?

This solution was for an older version. Please replace ?category with ?form_question[category]

Please override list-head.php and replace

<?php ap_ask_btn(); ?>

to this:

global $question_category;
$ask_url = ap_get_link_to( 'ask' );
if( !empty( $question_category->term_id ) ) {
    $ask_url = $ask_url . '?category=' . $question_category->term_id;
}

echo '<a class="ap-btn-ask" href="' . $ask_url . '">' 
       . __( 'Ask question', 'anspress-question-answer' ) 
       . '</a>';

Cheers.
