Can't modify old Alias commands

I wanted to update the command to !mute instead of !vol0 and it won't update or save.

I can't seem to figure out how to modify the command.

Just for the record typing !vol0 still runs the command !songs volume 0 and all my previously created alias commands work the way they've always worked, but I can't update them now.

I don't know what changed on Nightbots end that broke this?

Is there still a way to do this, I tried searching the documentation, and didn't find anything about it.

If there's a different way to do what I am doing, what is the correct way to do it?

You must put !songs as an alias and 'volume 0' in the Response.

This works, It's just weird, cause the previous command also still works, I just can't modify it.

Was there any reason why this was changed?

It was changed because users did not understand how the alias system works and that was a frequent source of confusion.

Internally it works identically, but making alias only be the command allows us to better validate the inputs so users do not make a mistake.
