Provide a way to update the article to point to an existing forum thread.

My original idea was that if I write an article in response to a Forum question, I want to link the article back to the original forum question.   The data structures are already there, I just want to be able to update an existing (unfilled) field.

Your idea (which I really like because it continues to blur the line between the two products in the process of enabling more collaboration) might be harder (and riskier) to implement.  I'm expecting that the next ActiveModules release will significantly alter its own data model.  In other words, I wouldn't want Engage to put a lot of work into a new feature, and then have ActiveForums come out with their next release and break that new feature.  Just a thought...I'll let Chris make his own decisions, of course! 

Hmmm, I was lead to believe this was already a feature of Engage Publish. Read here

We like what Engage Publish has to offer this so far but we really are looking for the same thing jhenry states.

We want to publish articles and have comments tied to ActiveForums.

Nice work Chris!

Thanks!

No progress so far, we've got a whole slate of other items we're working on for the 5.2 release, this wasn't included in that list for now.

We will be overhauling our support options as well after the 5.2 release, providing users access to a bug tracker to submit buts and feature requests, so we can better manage requests such as this for future releases.
