I haven’t posted a chat transcript from Slack in several months, so I don’t know when this stopped working. Today I tried to post a Slack thread transcription into my Discourse site. When I press “Continue on forum”, the request to `/chat-transcript/<transcript ID>` redirects to `/latest` and no topic is created and nothing is posted.

Before I go caving, does anyone by chance already know or strongly suspect what’s happening?

This seems to work again today: the dialog to create a post opens with the content from my thread.

I’m not sure why it failed. I only know it works as of this commit: [Commits · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commits/47597219b101068ed926d67ac66463e17a77f6ce) as part of version 3.2.0.beta5-dev. I didn’t notice any obvious candidate commit between 2023-12-27 and that commit that purported to fix the problem. 🤷
