Syntax

$editTextDisplay[Position;Content;(Message ID)]

Parameters

Parameter	Description
Position	Rank of the text display, counted from 1 in reading order, depth first (the texts inside containers and sections are counted). Otherwise Position must be a positive whole number.
Content	New text. Must not be empty (Text display content must not be empty.).
Message ID	(Optional) ID of a message sent by the bot, in the current channel (a positive integer, otherwise Invalid message ID.).

Behavior

• With Message ID, the message is read, the text is replaced and the message is rewritten when the response is flushed. Its Components V2 flag is kept.
• Without Message ID, in the script run for a click, it edits the clicked message. Elsewhere, it edits the text display of the layout being built by the script.
• No such text display: Text display <n> not found.
• Everything else in the message (containers, buttons, other texts) is unchanged.

Limits

• The texts of a message hold 4000 characters in total (Text displays hold at most 4000 characters in total.), checked before the edit.
• Only a message written by the bot can be edited (Only bot-authored message components can be edited.). An ephemeral message cannot be edited by its ID.
• A classic message has no text display: change its text with $editMessage. Only $editMessageCV2 turns a classic message into a Components V2 one, and this cannot be undone.

Examples

Button in an interactionCreate workflow

Workflow with the event interactionCreate and the custom ID filter (customIdFilter) vote_up. $customID only exists in the script run for the click, never in the slash command.

$editTextDisplay[2;Last vote: $username]

The second text of the clicked panel is replaced, the rest stays.

Message chosen by its ID

$editTextDisplay[1;**Server status:** online;$message[1]]

Notes

• To replace the whole layout, use $editMessageCV2.
• To change a color or a spoiler, see $editContainer; for an image, $editThumbnail.
