Q&A answers not publishing We are using Commons modules and among other parts of it a Q&amp;A module. We noticed that when a user question is answered ,, answers do not get published. Not even when admin answers the question. Instead, we have to go in and set publishing options for all answers, one at a time.

The content type used for answers is called "Answers" and a default setting for publishing options is set to "published".

When the answer form is submitted the publishing option is not checked..

Does anyone know why this is getting overridden and how to make this work?

Thanks!
Recently I had a slightly different but similar issue with answers in commons. When a user answers a question it was by default visible to trusted contacts of that user but not visible to group members and there was no way to change that even as an admin.
After spending quite some time, I tried disabling the commons feature "Commons Trusted Contacts" which solved the problem.

So, one thing is clear it is this feature/module which is overriding. If you don't need trusted contacts functionality, you can just disable this. Otherwise, Commons trusted contacts is the right place to look into to solve the actual cause.
