Ability to update feature request comments

User Interface (UI) / User Experience (UX) · Generic · Created by ArcadiusPrime
open
There is currently no way to edit or take back feature request comments. If you notice a typo or realize you copy-pasted over what you intended to say, there is no way to edit your comment. In a worst case, one might accidentally put in sensitive or inappropriate information that is now publicly visible with no way to undo it outside of contacting support.

    I agree with others that editing suggestions could be problematic, but that isn't what OP is asking - being able to edit your voting comments wouldn't neccessarily impact much, so I'm all for it

    Many have concerns with abuse of this potential improvement, but it would address a real issue. My suggestion is that edits must be submitted to an admin, who then decides whether to publish them.

    Maybe you could edit the suggestion before it gets votes? If people could change anything about their suggestion and completely rewrite the entire thing after people have voted on it, the feature would almost certainly be abused.

    At least you should be able so delete it, and voters get their money back. But change a suggestion when it got votes is risky.

    I don't see any drawbacks.

    I would probably be less anxious about adding comments with my votes if I could fix unintended/unclear wording, grammar errors, and spelling mistakes.

    Typos bug me and I am also very prone to making typos. This would be helpful

    Simple mistakes/omissions or additional thoughts very often occur to me soon after posting a comment, no matter how much care I think I've taken to write it and I suppose sometimes it could be worse than that. Just human nature. I'd also like the ability to edit my comments but I generally think the team is better focusing on core WA functionality ahead of improvements in this feedback system, so it wouldn't be an absolute top priority for me.
