XF 2.0 Custom thread fields to post as different user?

[Valter]

Is it possible to use custom thread fields feature to change thread author? For example create drop-down with list of specific usergroup users which admins can select as new thread owners?

Possible?

There is already an addon who do this.

No, it's to change author of existing post. It's also expensive. I mean, I upgraded XenForo for $40, and to upgrade single addon I need to pay $25? Thanks, I respect your work, but no way.

For $25 you get the entire collection of addons. Very good value.

If it's entire collection then it's a good price.

But anyway, it's not what I asked for. This is what I need, but for XF2: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/th-post-as-user.1150/

That addon wouldn't do what you want. If you want to actually change the thread owner (presumably you mean the thread starter/author as mentioned in your first post) then the addon teletubbi mentioned will do exactly that.

Login as user won't change the author of a thread or post. It just means you can log in as if you are that other user (without knowing their password) and you can make new posts in their name. Iy also means you can read their conversations which many people may not like if they believe it to be an invasion of privacy.

It's not login as user, it's POST as user.

It's not login as user, it's POST as user.

Correct.

With a login as user you can post as any user.

But you cannot change the thread author as you wrested.
