Hey @monday-team, we are a marketing agency currently in the process of migrating from Wrike to Monday.
The main suggestion that we have, and one that is vital to our company’s success on Monday, is the ability for anyone to edit updates (not just the person who created the update) - We have found that most other PM platforms allow this and it is a significant issue for migrating our projects to Monday as well as the services that we want to offer clients.
We have gone through multiple meetings and scoping sessions with our Monday partners to explore other options, however Monday is currently lacking the feature of an editable description box or updates section by more than one person.
As you can see from the screenshot attached, only the creator of the update has access to editing it - meaning no other employees or clients are able to. We would love to see the implementation of an updates section or description box that is editable by anyone.
+1 - We can’t really build shared checklists as long as this isn’t an option. Requiring the creator of the update to be the only one who can modify an update and therefore a checklist introduces unnecessary bottlenecks. At least allow others to modify the update if the creator allows it - similar to the info boxes.
We are struggling with this limitation right now. We created checklist items and no one else can edit the checklist to add or remove items as needed. It’s a huge flaw. We definitely need this feature.
+1 in 2022.
At least maybe allow board owners to update updates on boards they own. having updates on updates to correct an update is a crummy user experience.
Hello dear,
Is there any update on this? Just give everyone right to work on the same Note (no need to call it an update)
And if someone wants to lock their note they might want to have the option to.
Please update the software soon🙏 many other platforms are not having this problem, but we want to stick with Monday.com
We would also be happy about such a function because we often use checklists in certain boards (updates) which partly have to be adapted by other board members.
Currently the boardmember who wants to change something in such a checklist has to copy it every time and post it again in a new update. This usually ends up in the fact that in an item 3 different checklists are posted in 3 separate updates by 3 separate users and in each case only one or two points where adjusted.
I probably don’t have to mention that the clarity goes down the drain when working like this.
We are in a similiar situation where we have a team that are required to update existing updates in order to tick off items within a check list. However, the person who creates the update with the checklist, is the only person who can amend it.
a) Allow everyone to edit each other’s updates with a recorded record
or
b) Allow the person who posts the update, to choose which user can edit their update.

Trying out Monday and can’t believe this is not a thing!! Or at least add a text field with formatting available. Is everyone just copy and pasting rn?
One option can be to make a Description section for each item. Similar to Jira. Where a Description can be added which is editable by anyone who has edit permission on the baord, this way user’s can add things like checklists in Descriptions, and the updates can remain uneditable.
I came looking for a solution to allow team members to edit updates, and I was disappointed to find it is not a feature. This is a necessary feature. I hope Monday.com implements this update soon.
