   I waffle back and forth on this. Theoretically, folks with access to the node repository should be able to look at "completed"-state issues and interpret them as "ready for action to be taken". If "completed" answers can be edited, it could be a bit weird for the person looking at 'em. On the other hand, it would lower the potential anxiety level of folks answering questions if they knew they could go back and change their answer down the line -- which would be great. I'm currently leaning towards having "completed" answers be editable for a given amount of time before they're "locked". What are your thoughts on this?

   I like the idea of having a timed period of where answers are still modifiable. This might increase the accuracy of the answers provided and benefit the triage efforts. For example, suppose a person clicks on the wrong radio button and submits the question incorrectly, will the folks with access to the node repository be able to tell that the answers provided are not accurate? I think increasing the accuracy of the answers will instill more trust in nodebugme. 👍

   I just started using NodeBug, and several times in my research for one question, I have discovered that my answer to a previous question was incorrect. The ability to fix that would be very helpful for producing accurate reports. 👍

   You could even allow editing until you reach the end of the questions for a single issue, and then lock it down.
