Also bear in mind ForumChannels came way after this was implemented, adding support for it shouldn’t be too hard so I’ll look into that within the next hour or so.

try discord.SlashCommandOptionType.channel, channel_types=[discord.ChannelType.forum]

You’re meant to use the channel_types argument in discord.Option.

    @slash_command()
    async def forum(self, ctx, forum: discord.Option(discord.TextChannel, channel_types=[discord.ChannelType.forum])):
        ...

Though I fully understand the confusion:

This still isn’t documented… I’ll do it now since I’m free
Considering all the other types we have, the code in the OP seem like it should work.
To add to the above, the example code I used above isn’t exactly ideal since it’s two clashing types. If I’m not mistaken, using channel_types overrides the option type channel.

And I think the code is wrong @Pycord-Development/contributors?

This is what discord.py is showing when you use discord.ForumChannel.

It’s also not working with async def forum(self, ctx, forum: discord.Option(discord.ForumChannel)): nor async def forum(self, ctx, forum: discord.ForumChannel) is working either. I mean, go ahead and test it yourself.
