Hi, I have a question on the change on the dashboard when using the Alias of when trying to edit another command; I was trying to add 2 commands for a streamer, 1 for viewers to use and another for just mods (which will update the viewers command with a counter) but it didn't let me saved it.

Now I checked the forums and found out that now in the alias field just need to type !commands and the rest in the Response field, I was doing a general test but is not working as expected:

1. The chat response for the mod cmd display the link of the commands page which is something for this case we don't want (@WhoGuessWho -> The bot commands for this channel are available at https://nightbot.tv/t/whoguesswho/commands)
2. The command register the count variable properly but it does not edit the viewer cmd (!totalcount in this test).

Nightbot was even removed from the channel and added back.

Am I doing something wrong?

Hiya, that setup looks alright. Can you check if you maybe have a space before "edit" in your response field?

Hey, thanks for the answer, yes that was it.
The message was pending for some days and couldn't edit it but I found that was the issue haha, didn't see it.

The only thing that would be great is if there would be a way for the bot to also allow to display the message with the new count besides the "command was updated", I test several ways but none work, but at least the count and editing are working. 😃

Glad you figured it out. At the moment there is no way to change that message.
