Edit Failed when trying to edit a post.
Hello,
I have a user having issues editing some of his posts within a channel. I disabled editing on a test channel and I can't seem to replicate the error.
The user mentioned he can edit some posts and some times they cannot.
What does it mean when it's in red?
Thanks.
Hi Mouang Lee
Do you get the issue in the web client (https://teams.microsoft.com)?
If you don't and this is restricted to the desktop client, get the user to log out completely, clear the cache (https://commsverse.blog/2018/09/28/clear-the-microsoft-teams-client-cache/) and then log in again - see if that fixes itI have also seen reports that attachments may cause this
Hope that answers your question!
Best, Chris

In my case, I was not able to edit a message until I removed attachments. Once I removed the attachments I was able to edit the message and re-attach the files.
Both the web and native client gave the red "Edit failed" response.
I am a team owner and all permissions related to editing and deleting messages were enabled. Toggling the permissions off/on did not have any effect.
