How to edit my Bug Description on Bugzilla?

I couldn't find a place to discuss topics regarding Bugzilla itself, so I'm looking in this community. If there's a better place, please tell me.


The title is pretty self explaining. I submitted a bug report on Bugzilla and I want to edit my bug description. How can I do that? I didn't find a way to do that. Maybe I'm overlooking something.

If there's actually no way to edit your bug description and comments, then I think Bugzilla is even more trash than I already thought it is. In my opinion that's standard and it should be supported, just like it is supported on proper tools like GitHub. I don't like Bugzilla because it doesn't look as clear and modern as GitHub or GitLab, has a worse text/markdown editor and it seems to be lacking some useful features. It's good that Mozilla creates some competition to big tech companies but it's also valid to criticize their products if they are simply worse (which is disappointing but nonetheless, it's true sometimes).

Hi

Not all users have access to be able to edit bugs - but I might be able to help as I can.

If you can let me have a link to your bug and what you would like to change, I will see what I can do to help.

Helpful?

Thanks for your reply. It's absolutely reasonable that not all users should have access to edit any bug. But I just want to be able to edit my own bug description.

Thanks for your offer, but you don't need to edit any bug in specific. I just wanted to change the wording and correct a typo but that are very small changes. Nothing important. Still it would be useful if I could simply do that myself.
