Hi everyone š
Iām recently facing an issue where I want to know if the author of the post marked a reply as a solution or if it was an admin/mod.
I currently have no idea how to figure that out or if Discourse even shows that.
IIRC, Discourse only sends a notification to the author of the reply and the author of the topic if someone else marks the solution.
This will also help to keep in check if someone is just marking their own replies as solutions to boost stats.

Thank you @Moin
I mean the ability to view who marked solutions for non-admin roles like category mods and even regular users as well.

This is now supported! The admin page has a new toggle (default off) that enables it.
On our site with that config enabled, it looks like this:
