I enabled the "sticky" option in the News content type for publishing options but the option doesn't show up in the node edit form.

There is a default sort option "sticky descending" in the view however.

There is a Panopoly configuration option that overrides the content type options at: admin/panopoly/settings/panopoly_admin

However I don't understand why two unrelated options got combined into one: "Do you want to provide the front page and sticky options on node content?"

I think they should be separate especially because it forces you to allow both regardless of what's set in the content type configuration.

We actually use the Panopoly queue for all of it's core modules. Moving there!

Any updates on this issue? We've implemented forums on our panopoly site, and I would really like to have the sticky option without the promote to front page. AND I would love to have the sticky option show only on my Forum topic content type.

I'd recommend adding a new checkbox field for "Sticky" and then creating your own view that sorts by it. This way you can have it only be on the specific content types that you added the field to, and have a lot more options with how it's displayed.

While we might one day have a specific setting for just turning off the individual customization that panopoly_admin does (what this issue is about), I don't think we're ever going to have functionality to control which content types have "Sticky" on them.

Really, the idea with disabling "Sticky" and "Promote to front page" is that they are inflexible, and their functionality can easily be done better with fields and views!

I ended up using the FastToggle module to display the "sticky" option to my users on forum posts. I only enabled "sticky" as something someone could FastToggle. Users can't make a topic sticky as they create it, but they can when viewing it... it's been a decent work-around.
