Mark topic as solved without specifying solution post

[Canapin (Coin-coin le Canapin)]

I’ve read the linked topic and I think the best solution by far is the one given by simon:

@simon

If the solution is spread across multiple posts, maybe a user on your site could create a post that aggregates the topic’s posts. That post could then be marked as the solution.

The issue raised here,

@Godmar_Back

The problem with this approach is that it’s not clear who is credited with the solution.

Is very minor for two reasons.

• Topics with multiple solutions are rare. I’ve been helping on meta for many years now, I know there are several topics where I only provided part of a solution, and honestly, it’s just so uncommon.

• Not having our post marked as “solution” from time to time simply isn’t a big deal, even if you aim to collect solutions. If you are helpful, you’ll be credited with many “solutions” anyway. And your answer can be quoted in a post that assembles multiple parts of a solution. And you’ll also have likes probably, so if the objective is recognition or validation, don’t worry about that
