It would be great to have a resolved_at attribute on the discussion level.

Being as how there is none at the moment can the last_updated_at date serve as a "poor-mans" proxy for this field?

   Sure, we can add something though. Each comment has a boolean resolution attribute. resolved_at would just be the created_at timestamp of the latest comment to have a resolution.

   Ok, but instead of walking the comment tree couldn't you just assume that if the discussion state was equal to resolved, the last_updated_at probably contained the resolution? That is to say to new comments "touch" the last_updated_at timestamp on the discussion level?

   Perhaps, but you can also comment on resolved discussions.

   But yes, last_updated_at is the timestamp of the most recent comment.
