Enable people to easily change the comment they are replying to
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

This task involves the work of making it possible for people to easily change the comment they are replying to.

This ticket is a response to @nayoub noticing the potential for people to become confused about what to do in the event that they realize that they are meaning to respond to a comment that is different from the one they have a Reply Tool already open "for."

Behavior

  1. Open a Reply Tool to respond to "Comment A"
  2. Realize you meant to respond to "Comment B"

Current

  1. ❗️Become confused about why you can't click/tap the Reply button "attached" to the comment you wanted to respond to ("Comment B")
    • Assumption: people might not think to shift their attention from the Reply link that is related to the comment they are meaning to respond to (read: "Comment B") to the Cancel button within the Reply Tool related to the comment they mistakenly started to respond to (read: "Comment A").
  2. ❗️Realize that in order to respond to "Comment B" instead of "Comment A," you first need to click/tap the Cancel button within the Reply Tool related to "Comment A"
  3. Click/tap the Reply button "attached" to "Comment B"

Desired

  1. ✅ Click/tap the Reply button "attached" to "Comment B"
NOTE: this ticket is scoped to scenarios where people have NOT already typed any text/content into a Reply Tool so as to avoid people having to decide what to do with the content they entered into the Reply Tool they no longer want open.

Done

  • Desired behavior is implemented
