Hi, Created a Topic (using rest api) with “external_id” field Deleted that Topic, I assume that Topic will be there in the Database but it will be hidden from users Tried to create the Same Topic with same “external_id”, I get “External has already been taken” If the Topic is deleted from users p…

[이미지] Richard - Communiteq: Also, ?status=deleted does not seem to work any more? /latest?status=deleted works for me on my test site? [이미지] Mohan Raman: Let me know if I’m trying wrong way Ahhh, I see now. The video definitely helped. :slight_smile: Yes, the topic title doesn’t curr…

there is no way to undelete that first topic, I dont see any icon/button to do undelete.

Hi Mohan. :wave: I think what @RGJ was referring to: this isn’t a bug, since Discourse uses a “soft delete” approach by default. The external_id would be used in that context, which is by design. :+1:

The icon for un-delete is this one: [un-delete first post] And there is also the option in the topic wrench: [un-delete topic]

[이미지] Mohan Raman: here is nothing like that The point is that such a topic can be undeleted, and in that case there would be two topics with the same external ID. The externalID is supposed to be unique, across all topics, including deleted ones. As @maiki said, this is by design.

[이미지] Richard - Communiteq: The point is that such a topic can be undeleted can be undeleted? how? I too want to undelete that topic, my problem will go away. but there is no way to undelete that topic. Either discourse should allow to use the external_id which is used on a deleted topic or…

The posts above mine clearly indicate that topics can be undeleted. That you seem unable to undelete this specific topic to does not mean that this is a bug, it would be a matter of permissions or settings. Are you administrator on the forum? BTW Please stop classifying this as Contribute > Bug .

[Screenshot from 2022-10-13 10-44-34] should I classify this as a bug?

[이미지] Mohan Raman: should I classify this as a bug? No, you should not. Please use safe mode and see if you can do this. If you cannot, please tell us in great detail what you do see instead. Screen captures will help. [이미지] 2022-10-13_13-10-11 World's leading screen capture + r…
