Hi,

In my project I have a idea posting list where an end user submits an
idea. It has fields like name, category, date and so on. Now once the
user posts an idea and once the owner reviews it and allows for it to
be posted, the idea has to be posted to a discussion board where the
users will start discussion about the idea. I am not sure how to
achieve this functionality where an intermediate process is involved.
I am trying to use SharePoint workflows to do this but I am sure this
is feature is not existing in the built in workflow actions. Please
let me know how to achieve this.

I am a developer and I have no access to the SharePoint server. I need
to develop the code if needed and post it to the server. Gurus please
help. Urgent.

Thanks,
Phani.

I actually think you can accomplish this by using out-of the box actions in
SPD 2007.

Check this links:

Let me know if this works for you..

i'll take a closer look myself and will let you know!

I too have a similar need. I have created the discussion form SSP2007
using the Create List Item action (is that the only way? WOuld be nice
if we could start a new thread much like assigning a "To-Do Item").
The problem is that it creates an item and not a full discussion
thread folder. How would I go about creating the through the SPD 2007
workflow?

Thanks!
