Automatically add label to new topics

[Former Member]

I have been unable to find this as a standard feature.

But is it possible to create a plugin so that all new topics that are created are automatically applied a label?

The label can be defined in the plugin settings and by board.

So for example in a plugin request board all new topics could be labelled as "New Request".

And then say a Support Board could have all new topics marked with a "New Support Request" label.

Is this possible ?

Thanks
Dave

Assigning labels is a power, so if someone didn't have the power to assign a label, a plugin wouldnt be able to do it under their name.

  Ahh thats not good !!

  Cheers anyway Wormopolis

  Actually Wormopolis thinking about it ... I have already added the permissions to the boards/labels to allow members to apply them

It looks like labels arent something the system will give a dropdown for in settings, so it will require typing a label name exactly as it appears for it to find it. but based off name, it looks like a quick jquery hit will select it while hidden. Do you want them to be able to unselect it though?

   Hi Wormopolis

  Would it be possible to make it so that the labels are assigned on a board basis within the plugin settings ?

  I know this would be like creating the labels twice in two places but at least once its done its done

  It would need to be de-selected in someway as il be using it as part of a Request area ... So they create a post which is automatically assigned with a "New Request" label ... Once someone starts to work on that request they will then change the label to "In Progress" and once done to "Completed".

 Wether this is done by De-selecting labels or soon as a new one is applied the old one is auto removed .. I cant see the use of more than 1 label per topic

  Thanks

Well I meant more while they were creating s thread. Making it where they couldn't cancel the automatic label.

    If we can make it so that the labels are auto assigned upon thread creation without the ability to remove them.

    Ideally it will work just like the Plugin Request board here apart from upon creation of a thread a label is auto assigned but then removed / changed later on when In Progress or when completed.

    Thanks

     This works perfectly

     Thanks
