  • I'm not referring to [accepting answers](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/280899#answer-280899 ) like on Stack Exchange, because perhaps your question gets > 1 answer and they all contribute to answering your question. This doesn't duplicate https://meta.codidact.com/posts/277966#answer-277966 because an "solved" tag wouldn't attach to a particular post.
