I know it has been asked/discussed before. I believe my use case is legitimate, but perhaps not wide spread enough to mandate devs implementing a new feature, so I’m hoping for the next best suggestion from experts here … happy with the Rails console too if someone points me to the functions and cal…

[image] NateDhaliwal: Yes. Admin wrench > Change ownership. Darn, I just came back to delete that part of the post after just seeing the Change Ownership command. For the record, I’m interested in copying the revisions of each post as well (clarified now in the OP above), basically a full co…

It would take a plulgin to duplicate the topic and its revisions. But then what if one or the other topics keeps making revisions? I think the thing to do is start the topic in the secret place discuss it, edit it, when it’s ready to be made public, you wrench, select posts, select the OP/first …

@pfaffman thanks for chipping in. The old topic is closed already and we want to keep it where it is for various reasons (record keeping notwithstanding).
