This discussion seems to surface with regular intervals. Clearly quite a few people have been affected by this limitation. Personally I find it extremely annoying to see spelling mistakes in my jira comments, and not be able to correct them. I know I can add a new comment which explains the error, but this does not always help. If I've written something that wasn't terribly clear at the beginning of a Jira discussion I tend to get questions about it, even if I have tried to explain it better in a later comment. > Keeping the history of the patch is sometimes useful. Is there really a contradiction here? I don't think anyone argues that old versions of patches should be deleted. I'm sorry, but I can't see how editing an unclear comment or spelling mistake destroys the history. Or for that matter removing a patch that was attached to the wrong issue by mistake. I find the current policy rather draconian and I think a common sense approach with clear guidelines cautioning against destroying the history would work just as well. -- dt
