Update post’s comment status?

I need to update the Openness or Closedness of a post’s comments depending on its taxonomy term. Comment status appears to be the only thing about a post I can’t change in an Update Post action. Am I missing something, or is this a current limitation?

I worked around this by using a PHP block:

$trigger['comment_status'] = 'closed';
return wp_update_post($trigger);

…but I would just as soon never ever put custom PHP in the database, and hopefully disable the ability completely for everyone else.

You’re right, for the time being, it’s a limitation of the action. In the next version of the plugin, there will be an ability to update any post field.

    Ah, thanks for confirmation! And thanks so much for this plugin, too; I’m a sucker for any rules/workflow/automation tool, and it’s great to have one for WordPress.
