Clicking the "Edit" link on a post when a pending suggested edit has already been approved results in this toast:

This pending edit has already been approved/rejected.<br>Please refresh the page to see any changes.

The HTML should not be escaped.

    I'm going to edit the cute title temporarily because I think it's causing our automation to fail to pull this into Jira.

    Seems to have been the issue - re-editing the title hasn't caused the Zap to be triggered a second time (in general, title edits of a status-review post do cause multiple tickets for the same post). Not sure whether it's Zapier or Jira but probably good to know that some HTML in titles can cause something to fail. :)

    @Catija It's almost surely Zapier; Jira has supported HTML tags in bug reports for years, at least.

    Hmmm strange these tools don't take this as just a plain-text field. I can't think of any case where it would be helpfull to have html inside a title render.

    When you want to have links, @Luuklag. There are several notification pop-ups that use them. Apr 15, 2022 at 5:10

    @Luuklag well they should give hackers some hope, right? So allowing HTML where plain text usually expected is a good way. ;) Apr 15, 2022 at 8:50
  • @CodyGray why would you want a link from within the title? I was hinting at the Tools SE uses for their backlog tracking.
