Mark a Post as Assumed Answered?

JoshuaBixby — Mon, 16 Nov 2020 15:45:20 GMT

As a moderator, is there a way to mark posts as "Assumed Answered" like on the old platform or does a comment/response have to be selected to close out the question?

Hi Joshua, no there is not that option. You can either mark a reply as a solution or you can mark multiple replies as solutions, if there is more than one correct way to solution something. but no assumed answered.

OK, I guess being able to mark multiple replies as the solution will mitigate most of the confusion for situations I am thinking about.

I know nothing is going to change in the near-term, or maybe even mid- to long-term, but Area, Arcade Function calcuting area is way off fr... - GeoNet, The Esri Community is a perfect example of a thread that drives me crazy without "Assumed Answered."

There is a good, very real, chance the OP will never come mark a single reply as the solution. Although I kudoed all responses, how should the question get closed out? I think the question has been answered, and each person gave a good answer, but I don't think any response represents a singularly better answer. Mark all 3 responses as solutions? That just seems ugly.
