◦ To control topic creation, set the following property:
wt.workflow.forum.CreateDefaultTopics.enabled
This property controls the creation of default topics. This property must be added to the wt.properties file. By default this property is set to true, which means that when an object discussion tab is visited, default topics are created as defined in the DiscussionForumTemplate. If this property is set to false, the forum does not have any default topics created in it.
◦ To control tree view and posting replies, set the following property:
wt.workflow.forum.TreeViewAndReplyPosting.enabled
By default, this property is set to false. To allow tree view and replies to posted comments, set the property to true.
