[ARCHIVED] Change Discussion Board Author

[mason_516]

At the top of the discussion board it shows the avatar/name of the author. Is there a way to change this if the person who built the page is not the instructor?

 @mason_516 ,

Welcome to the Canvas Community!!!

Currently, there is not a way to change the author of a discussion.  There is a feature idea here https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/8670-allow-discussion-owner-to-be-changed and a lot more discussion here https://community.canvaslms.com/message/118973-re-author-and-posted-at-in-discussions-from-a-content... .

How can you mark this as "Solved?"

The issue still exists. When copying a course, all discussion post authorship is removed. Further, you are unable to update the author.

Please fix this issue.
