Change Status and Not Change Type

Is there a way for me to change the status of a post without it automatically changing the type of the post?

At this time, when I change the status on a post to "In Review" it changes the type. I would like these posts to stay as "Idea" type even if they are in review so other users can still vote for the ideas. This will help us gauge interest and we keep track of the customers that are interested in ideas.

    Hi  ,

    Thank you for reaching out! You mentioned that when you change the status of a post to "In Review", it changes the topic type. This is not the expected behavior, so we'd like to investigate further.

    To help us troubleshoot, could you please provide more details about what you're seeing?

    Specifically:

    1. When you change the status to "In Review", what do you observe happening?
    2. After changing the status, is the vote button still visible? If not, try refreshing the page and seeing if the vote button becomes visible again. Let me know if that helps.

    Any screenshots showing the before and after states would be helpful as well. Thank you!

       Perhaps I am understanding what is happening incorrectly. When I change a post to "In Review", it removes that voting option on the post.

      The voting option returns when I change the type of post to "Idea".

      Hi ,

      Thank you for providing those screenshots and additional details. They're very helpful in understanding what you're experiencing.

      Based on what you've described, it appears you're encountering a glitch in the display of the vote button. The vote option is only temporarily not visible after you set the status. Just try refreshing the browser page and you should see it return. Here are the steps to follow:

      1. Change the status of the post to "In Review".
      2. You'll notice the voting option disappears, as shown in your screenshot. This is a temporary visual glitch.
      3. Next, refresh the page. You can do this by:
         - Clicking the refresh/reload button in your browser (usually a circular arrow near the address bar)
         - On Windows: Press Ctrl+R on your keyboard
         - On Mac: Press Command+R on your keyboard

      After refreshing, the voting option should be visible again. This should confirm that the post remains as the 'Idea' type. 

      Could you please try these steps and let me know if the voting option returns after refreshing? If it doesn't, or if you encounter any issues during this process, please let me know. Thank you!
