Hi Kyle,
What do think, is that possible? Lets say I have an AA that is onAfterCreateActivity Item, then can that AA add a title to that activity? Eg I have a Group to do (groupjive.group.X.custom.todo), then when it gets posted the AA is activated and it changes the title of the activity from nothing to "Group task".

Not really sure how to set it up but that way would be the easiest to "mark" all entries in a custom activity stream...

Yup, that's doable. CB GroupJive and CB Gallery are modifying activity entirely using a trigger. Specifically activity_onDisplayStreamActivity can be used to modify multiple aspects of an activity entry. If you want to do this at time of storage then that can also be done with activity_onBeforeCreateStreamActivity. Both send several reference variables for modifying their contents.

OK now that is powerful and I can do pretty much everything I need with this. I will come back to you soon as I am guessing that I will need help with finding the variables. :)
