You can be little more clear about your question. As far as I understood... You need to create an item in discussion board, when item is created in the custom list. For implementing it you can use the action 'Create List Item' in SharePoint Designer workflow which creates list item in another list.

You can do this using action 'Update List Item'. In that select 'Current Item' then click Add button where you will be asked for field and value. Select the field in current item and for value you can lookup to discussion board list(Press function button near value textbox). Now in Datasource select 'Team Discussion', In field from source select URL path. Below you can find field and value which is used to link your list and discussion list. You should mention a column which is common to both the lists. Try it... – Paddy May 8 '12 at 3:09

The Create List Item workflow action returns the ID of the created item. You can store this in a workflow variable. Then set the Hyperlink field to a concat string with the fix part like "http://myserver/sites/a/lists/mylist/DispForm.aspx?ID=" plus the variable.
