Issue with editing polls

When I try to edit a live poll (e.g. to add more options) I get an error message that says I can’t edit the poll within the first five minutes despite that time frame having passed. Any help appreciated with this one.

Don’t think you’ve ever been able to edit a poll after the minimum time. Thought you could edit it within five minutes, though it resets any votes. After that it’s non-editable.

  • Testing Poll
  • Will try to edit
  • This was my test
  • it worked
0 voters

Then when trying later:

But this is expected behaviour.

Yeah, it’s the opposite @lokomotiv - you CAN edit a poll in the first 5 minutes and then can’t edit it at all afterwards.

I can extend the timer, but given that as @Octobadger says it wipes votes I’m not sure we’d want to?
