Is there a way to get the topic ID as a variable within a topic? Use case, we have categories for support and bug tracking tickets. I’d like to set them up with templates like so. This: > Do **not** remove this line: Support request #$(topicid) Looks like this: Do not remove this line: Support…

You’re trying to put the topic ID in the raw text of the topic? What problem is that going to solve?

It will solve the problem of me telling my support staff that they need to first create a new topic, then save it, then look at the URL and get the ID #, then go back and edit the topic in order to put the # in the body manually.

I will test this out. Thanks for the info. Is that part of the body that becomes searchable?
