Features
Discourse Assign adds a “tag like” annotation on the topic list and topic header with the username of the assigned user.
It allows you to assign topics to users and list all of the assigned topics.
Also, user groups can be assigned to the topic. In that case, each group member will receive a notification. In group Interaction
configuration, you can specify Who can assign this group
. By default, is it set to nobody
.
In addition to assign to specific topic, individual post can be assigned as well. This option is hidden under “…” (show more) post toolbar. When a post is assigned, information about that is included in the topic title. Also, first post contain link to assigned post.
Assignments can also (optionally) be associated with customizable statuses, and will track changes to their statuses in small_action
posts.
