👋

Thanks for sharing your solutions @pfaffman and @vinothkannans

I just re-used your code:

```plaintext
post.custom_fields["is_accepted_answer"] = "true"
topic.custom_fields["accepted_answer_post_id"] = post.id
topic.save!
post.save!

```

This worked to an extent, I can see the solved status when I scroll to the accepted post, but the import fell-short in two ways:

1. Solved post is not quoted into 1st post of topic
2. Title of solved post on index page is not prepended with a ☑

I am parsing through the code in [plugin.rb](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-solved/blob/master/plugin.rb) but it’s a little beyond me… any ideas?
