I want to remove reaction locking on topic, so that user can react/change their reaction(like/unlike) at any point of time? So is there any tweaks we can work around?
AI-generated summary
A discussion started by sevadev-ramchandra on removing reaction locking in Discourse, allowing users to change their reactions at any time. mattdm suggested adjusting the post undo action window mins setting, which controls the time frame for undoing actions like liking or flagging posts. Setting the value to “0” or a high number might effectively remove the limit. However, mattdm noted that the documentation could be clearer about the impact of this setting. JammyDodger agreed and plans to improve the documentation, confirming that the setting likely applies to Likes and Reactions, but not flags.
There is a setting — post undo action window mins. This is described as “Number of minutes users are allowed to undo recent actions on a post (like, flag, etc).”
In many cases, setting values to “0” means no limit. I’m not sure that’s the case here — if it isn’t, you could set a ridiculously high numbered to effectively be forever.
But this doesn’t change just that. It’d be nice if the documentation text were a little less vague on what the impact might be.
This one has been bugging me for a bit. I’m reasonably confident that it’s Likes and Reactions as I’m pretty sure you can’t remove flags (not from the UI at least).
I’ll see if I can firm up something and get it added.
