I’ve had trouble creating an invite with the arrive_at topic enabled as a user.
I can see the Invite button after clicking “Share” on the topic in public sections. But when I create the invite, the “arrive_at” field isn’t set in the database (I checked the topic_invites table with Data Explorer). When I edit the invite later, the “arrive_at” field doesn’t show up and can’t be edited.
I looked for related settings in both admin and group settings and couldn’t find any.
We’re not using must approve users. We have trust_level_2 in Invite allowed groups setting.
Seems like there must be some other setting (or hard-coded) limit to use topic invites.
UPDATE: I think this is a bug actually. I can reproduce this issue here on Meta in this very topic. It’s impossible to create an invite link with arrive at topic set (as a tl2 user, not staff).
현재 동작은 의도적으로 설계된 것입니다. 하지만 관리자가 아니거나 관리자가 아닌 멤버들이 초대 생성 시 주제를 지정할 수 있도록 하면 유용할 수 있다는 점은 이해할 수 있습니다. 그래서 이 내용을 Contribute > Feature 채널로 전달하여 검토를 요청했습니다.
사람들은 다양한 방식으로 초대 시스템을 설정하길 원합니다. 얼마 전 한 분과 대화했는데, 그분은 기본 주제를 설정하되 멤버들이 이를 변경하지 못하도록 하길 원했습니다.
Hmm.. you’re right! There does seem to be something amiss here. Even as an admin, if I select the Share button on the topic menu and then Invite, the created invitation does not have the topic selected already. I don’t recall if this is by design but it certainly isn’t as intuitive as it could be.
That documentation topic does need an update too, so thanks for flagging that.
