Unable to change title and category during moderation

[Mischief (Neil)]

As an admin for posts which need moderating I can not change the title or category until after moderation.

It would be great if we could if we could do it as part of the moderation process.

Hear, hear. I’d love this as well.

I thought I’d flag this issue up again as it is something that a couple of forums I’m involved with face on a regular basis.

I sure would appreciate it if this change could be made sometime soon. Given the number of likes given to my earlier post it looks like a number of other people would find this useful.

Thanks in advance!

I’m not fully grasping what you want. What “moderation process” are you talking about? Maybe walk through the steps of your current moderation flow, and your ideal moderation flow.

@erlend_sh I’m referring to posts pending at /queued-posts and I’m pretty sure @Mischief is too

Redirect / convert post from Pending Approval to Direct Message?

When dealing with messages to be approved, it’d be very helpful to redirect the post to direct message. This way, we could hash out what the user was really asking for, etc. Is this something we could see added to the Discourse feature list?

Yes I’m referring to

posts pending at /queued-posts

Just to round this one out, this has been possible for some time:

Change category before approving topic

You can now change the category of a topic in your approval queue before approving it. Here’s how it works: Before editing [before_edit] After editing [after_edit] The revision history - nothing’s changed here, just to demonstrate the effect [edit_history] Huge thank you to @xrav3nz for an awesome PR, thanks for implementing this Also thanks to @ggurbet for driving the idea through with mockups.
