It doesn't have to override the "resubmit wait time". It doesn't have to reset what people are allowed to give. I just want the option to change the text at the top of the submitted request without having to wait until another request is available. I know you can just add a message on top of it, but why not change this instead of having to ♥♥♥♥♥ the system.Quote:

To effect a message change, a user needs to change the text at the cc request troops dialogue box and re-submit the request as normal. Just like you would do if the request time elapses with time or gems.
Because it’s a request (and it is regardless of what it looks like and how you think of it) it needs to preserve the current request status. I never said it had to reset times or what people donate. On the contrary I said it needs to override the request wait time and preserve donation information.
You are not asking for a way to change request text. You are asking to change chat text. An entirely different animal.
Or are you still thinking war base cc is the same as a village cc. Again, different animals....
We are not talking about war base cc. :facepalm:
...
At least I wasn't.
That is a good point. The chat likely doesn't support editing after the fact. It supports muting/removing/ignoring(whatever it is called) set messages, but write protection likely is a coded way of operations for it. You'd have to copy the old data from the first message, and then resubmit it again (system wise, not player wise), with the new text.
I guess what can be done is give one rewrite per request, since really that's all you need. It can also be used to bump an old request back up to a more convenient spot in the channel for players to navigate easier. Yes, there are arrow buttons to quick scroll to each eligible request, but there are still no quick scroll buttons for last read message, nor 'return to top' button either. A bumpable, and editiable troop request could actually prove to be quite handy.
There's no reason why the request system has to be a part of the chat system. Personally, I would prefer them to make change the request system to be a separate entity. I think the way they have it now looks tacky, like the requests were sort of an afterthought with nowhere to go but in chat. They could always make requests a button on the clan castle, but that's a different topic for a different day. I just wanted to start with a small frustration, and if it can't be fixed from within the current chat system, then maybe Supercell needs to reconsider how the request feature works.
I agree that it might not be possible to change a request text when it is already posted in the clan chatbox. So i think maybe this is a better suggestion? Its like this.
1. After war, you want to request archers but your head was somewhere else so when you tapped REQUEST, you immediately press SEND then discover a moment later that the message was still "PEKKA FOR WAR".
2. So you move on, and just wait for the request cooldown. But now when you select your cc, there is button there that says, "change request text". You select it and change the text to "ARCHER ONLY". And then save.
3. Nothing on clan chat changes, it still says "PEKKA FOR WAR". But on your next request, when you tap the req button on your cc, it now displays "ARCHER ONLY".
I dont know about you but this happens to many people in my clan (me included). You request then see you havent changed the tag, so you remind yourself to change it again om your next request, then you forget again. Someone even forgot to change it for four consecutive requests. Poor soul.
This is exactly what I was going for. Because I have fallen for this too. However, if they want to completely rework the troop request system, I'd be fine with that as well.Quote:

Jimmy now has max Giants and Jimmy was able to 3 star simply because Jimmy was smart and corrected himself.
