How can you undo a flag?

[not-ethan (Ethan)]

I recently found out that there is a setting mentioning the ability to remove flags.

I want reactions to be undoable for 48 hours, but flags in 5.

I just checked on try.discourse.org and flaged some posts but I see no way or button to click to undo a flag.

According to this, there is a 10 min window to undo a flag by default. And everything should be deaflt there.

@JimPas

(default of 10 minutes) which allows a poster to remove their flag.

Even if I flag something else then delete the pm it still takes 24 hours (I think) for it to be deleted and the flag still exists.

It doesn’t exist right now as far as I know, but I would love something like this.

I’m exploring whether we need to update the setting description.

@JammyDodger

I was about to write that we are always open to #feature requests and #ux changes (which is still true ), but now I’m not sure if you can actually ‘take back’ a flag? We may need to update the setting description, or I need to figure out what I’m doing wrong.

Though if anyone can add any history to this, that would be useful too.

Has the feature ever existed? It’s clear at one point somebody had to have updated the text one way or another.

Has the feature ever existed

something like this

And for staff it would appear like this
