Posting access

In light of the current LJ-fail, can anyone tell me if it's possible to crosspost so my Dreamwith posts are public and my Livejournal ones f-locked?

I'm wondering if I can do this in one-step, so to speak, rather than having to post access-locked and then unlock the post here.

ETA: Sorted. Thank you all for your replies.

It won't do this for content edits, though, just things that touch the access level.

I'm not sure what you mean here: I have my LJ default to flocked, and if I post a public post on DW, I will get

DW-public
LJ-friends

If I then edit the public DW post solely to fix a typo, I will get

DW-public
LJ-public

And have to manually edit the LJ post back to friends. This is how it is intended to work, and really the only way it can work coding-wise, I think, because of how the differential access works.

Editing just tags on the DW post will not affect the LJ post security, or the LJ post's tags.

I've had the same issue.

It sounds like they ARE working on a way to fix this.
