    When creating new threads one must select whether the focus is to be a Discussion or Question.

    I see that I can't go back to my posts before this feature was made available and set the focus.  Is this a feature that is planned?  I didn't see a blog on this when I tried a search.
    If not, I will post this as an Idea once I have a chance to review the NEW Idea Status Definitions!

    @J W -   The new feature for QA as an option other than a general discussion is about 2 months out of GA.   The vendor has been working on various enhancement items from general usage to reporting.

    Question:  Your comment is around being able to change a past post from a general forum discussion message to a QA post correct?​

    From what I see about how the new QA asset is created this may not be an option.   Part of the generation of the Question than following Answers fit into a specific format very similar to a general discussion but there are differences behind the scenes.   This is just my take - I will ask the vendor.

    If you post this idea in ideas please use 1 Community Platform Water Cooler.

    Thanks for the feedback.  ~jm
