Not sure how far behind I am, as to how recent that is, or if it can somehow be re-enabled. It was one of my favorite things about Discourse from an admin point of view. The ability to…

It’s showing up now after the re-entering of those lines and rebuilding the app. I guess they were malformed somehow before. [image] Thank you for the help!
