Using a Workflow to create a Discussion Board item

hi

using a workflow i need to create a new discussion item, in a discussion board, when a new task is created in a task list. I.E. New tasks is created -> Workflow created a new discussion board item for discussion. Using SharePoint designer i've created a workflow to do just that, however, i'm unable to view the new discussion items in a threaded view (only subject view).

Having done some digging. i think that the workflow creates the discussion item as a message content type, rather than a discussion type and therefore can't be grouped together, hence no threaded view.

This guy had the same problem:- http://www.go4sharepoint.com/Forum/user-workflow-create-discussion-content-5951.aspx but did not find an answer.

So the question is how can i create an new discussion item with the correct content type from a workflow initiated from a new task list item?

Microsoft produced a procedure to "Create a task from a discussion item" i need to do it the other way.

does anyone have any thoughts?

thanks

Has there been a fix for this yet?
