Dynamische polltekst is misleidend

[seanblue]

I just noticed the new dynamic poll feature, but the text shown is misleading. It makes it sound like you can change existing options after the poll has been posted, but this is not the case (it still resets the poll results). Instead, only new options can be added (or removed).

This is fine, but the text should be changed to not imply options can actually be modified after voting has started.

Current:

This poll is dynamic. Options can be edited after posting.

Proposed:

This poll is dynamic. Options can be added or removed after posting.

CC @sam since I saw you recently added this.

Demo

• Option 1
• Option 2

Agreed, being more specific would help… though we also want to keep this text short. I think perhaps we can skip saying “This poll is dynamic” and let the text speak for itself…

Options can be added or removed.

and in the poll builder we can update “Allow editing options after posting (dynamic poll)” to say

Allow options to be added or removed after posting
