Automatically assigning articles into Navigational Topics

Knowledge

Currently, assigning articles to a Navigational Topic on a community only adds CURRENT articles of your chosen Data Category. Which means if a new article is published it would have to be added manually to a Topic again requiring manual process and maintenance.

It would be great if there was an option on setting up navigational topics to automatically add subsequent published articles of your chosen Data Category.

Why isn't this a thing? It is completely ridiculous to have to add the Topics manually to every article.

The current process does appear to be unneeded steps when working with articles, especially if one wants a "fire and forget" style of article publication.
+1 for this idea for sure.

This shouldn't be this hard and its not efficient, need a better way. Consider this idea.

This seems more like a bug fix than an enhancement to me. Creating a relationship between a Data Category and a Navigational Topic makes sense. Having to manually "fix" subsequent articles where that relationship should apply is counter-intuitive and counter-productive.

This is absolutely neccessary - i'm amazed that this is a manual task. The following workflow is *very normal* for a business using SFDC:

1) Add an article via article management
2) Assign article to a data category
3) Review/Publish article
4) ... This is the point that it should automatically push into a topic based on a mapping, however at this stage you have to go back into the article management area of the community management, and now manually map the category to the article. Every single time.

Please fix!

We were able to successfully solve this problem by writing a batch job which automatically assign articles to community topics.

We really need this. We follow a KCS best practices and need to make articles available as soon as possible.
