FredOslow asks if they can edit the reason for a custom badge after it’s awarded, noting they must revoke and regrant it if they want to add a reason. They also inquire whether users receive a notification when a badge is revoked. JimPas clarifies that the badge should have a description and reason defined upfront, and explains that a post can be linked as the reason for awarding the badge. They also mention that badge notifications can include the post that earned it and that badges can be awarded multiple times based on qualifiers.
Hi, if I give a user a custom Badge without writing a reason, and I later figure out there is a link I could have put as the reason; I see no way to edit the Reason.
So I have to Revoke the Badge and Grant it again, this time also writing the Reason?

Thanks in advance!
So I think I can confirm that I have to revoke the badge, then regrant it if I want to add a Reason.
It seems it does not give a notification when I take stuff away from people, but Im not 100% sure on the latter.
Do you mean you have no description of the badge (short or long) itself?
The link you mention… is that a post the person made that you believe should be recognized as the reason for awarding the post?
When you make a custom badge, you should add what the badge is for. Then give a long(er) description of what the badge is and why it’s awarded. You can also check the box below the description so the badge notification will show the post that earned the person said badge. You can also stipulate that a badge can be earned/granted multiple times (depending upon the qualifiers for the badge).
