Add new combobox filter to add context to "New Post" page.
 
For example in the forum for questions, the solutions can be different for Web or Mobile platform. That would be a good way to narrow the solutions. Some users don't specify the context and that makes it difficult to be precise on the best solution.

It would make life so much easier for Forum Moderators and other Community Members who help out on the Community Forums, if we would allow Original Posters to choose an Application Type while creating a New Post.

What I see now is that a lot of times we need to ask the Original Poster to which Application Type his question is related. 

The ‘Choose Application Type’ dropdown would contain all OutSystems application types: Traditional Web Application, Reactive Web Application, Native Mobile Application, Progressive Web Application and Service Application.

The Dropdown selection would be non-mandatory since the Post could be related to a different topic.

By implementing the above simple feature, I think it would allow Forum Moderators and other Community Members to post potential solutions to Forum Posts faster and more efficient.

I agree but there is already sugested.

Consider to merge it

This is already worked on by OutSystems, maybe the status can be updated?

When creating a new post in the Forum, the user could be asked to choose which type of application is he / she working on.

For example, a dropdown, next to the Choose Forum dropdown, specifying if it is a Traditional Web Application, Reactive Web Application or Mobile Application.

This information could be displayed alongside with the title and the chosen forum information directly in the list and / or somewhere inside the post itself.

This information could be very helpful for other forum members because they will know which type of application it is and respond accordingly.

Thanks!

Forum posts in most development environment forums are notoriously sparse of needed information.  For example, there was a post yesterday with a Title of "Click on table records" and with text of...

"Hi, 

How to capture an event when user click on a records on table records widgets?

I need to capture the selected records values and pass it to the another page.

Does anyone has idea how to do this?"

No mention of Web or Mobile.  Further information, several posts later, revealed that he was using a Popup.  So... overall... a terrible post.

The only clue to a platform was "table records" which is something that only exists in Web.

If you added a mandatory radio button with choices for Moble and Web, at least that would give readers of the message some kind of idea which area is being used.

Further, I could then search on Mobile answers or Web answers.  Frequently I search for an answer in the forum for a mobile problem only to get a bucket of web based answers which cannot apply.

I know this won't help past posts, but going forward, specifics in a forum post would help a great deal.

Thanks,

Hi,

probably a checkbox would be better. There are cases that questions concern both types of applications.

Hi Team,

I have seen so many questions in the forum which doesn't specify which platform they are categorized.

what I feel is we should have a mandatory option while putting a question like a platform Web/Mobile.

why am I saying this because every time the person who is giving the reply to that question have to ask which platform?

When you submit a new post, should be added a combo box to select where you are getting the question. 

Combo should have, "Web App", "Mobile App" or both.

At the Community Forums should be add a filter with that three options.
