discussion is not an Announcement

Error message

discussion is not an Announcement

What it means

discussionFromEnvironment requires DISCUSSION_CATEGORY to be exactly 'Announcements' — the script only posts release announcements into the Announcements category and refuses other discussion categories supplied by the workflow environment.
