Reply "Collision detection"
Since our Super Users asked for it I cobbled together this widget. It's not perfect, but it seems to be working. I asked Lithium to add a custom field for messages, so I can save a state of who is c...

One more quick comment.
I noticed that, in our communities, I was getting an "permission denied" error when replying to a reply -not the original question-, probably because the custom field was set up for just for first message in a thread. I'm not 100% sure.
Anyways, we want to keep a single list for the whole thread, regardless of whether the user replied to the original question or a reply, so I tweaked the code a little.
I replaced these two lines
<#assign msg_non_unique_id = http.request.url?substring(http.request.url?last_index_of("/") + 1, http.request.url?length)/>
<#assign msg_id = rest("/boards/id/${coreNode.id}/messages/id/${msg_non_unique_id}/id").value/>With this:
<#assign msg_id = env.context.message.discussion.topicMessage.uniqueId />
(this gets the unique id for the first message on the thread, so no need to use another rest call)
Just an FYI in case you're having the same issue on your communities.
Regards!
PerBonomiI have the reference to this Feature from @DanK. Great feature. I am technically affine but have such a feature not yet built into lithium. Can I read somewhere how this works or is an IT specialist generally necessary?

Hey housikrausi. The code is fairly short and basic. The zip contains one component and one endpoint. Pretty much copy/paste. But just have a look and see. One thing you need Lithium Support for is to add a custom metadata field to messages. It's this one in the code, you can call it anything you want, I went with spotify.editors: "/metadata/key/spotify.editors/"
