How do I edit a response more than once?

[tawny light]

await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self, embeds=embeds)

discord.errors.InteractionResponded: This interaction has already been responded to before

Can you send your code

[tawny light]

`import discord

from discord import Bot
from discord.ui import Item

TOKEN = ""

BOT = Bot()

class TestView(discord.ui.View):

def __init__(self, *items: Item):

    super().__init__(*items)

@discord.ui.button(label="START", style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
async def start(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
    for i in range(2):
        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self, content=f'INDEX-{i}')
        #await interaction.response.edit_original_message(view=self, content=f'INDEX-{i}')

@BOT.slash_command(name="test", description="")
async def _test(ctx):
testView = TestView()
await ctx.respond(ephemeral=True, view=testView, content='PRESS START')

BOT.run(TOKEN)
`

[echo lance]

its await interaction.edit_original_message()

[tawny light]

Doesn't work ;c

await interaction.edit_original_message(view=self, content=f'INDEX-{i}')

Hey, you could use interaction.message.edit()

@tawny light keep in mind that you still need to respond to the interaction with interaction.response.edit_message() if you use the approach above

this does not work with ephemeral messages i think

[tawny light]

`File "discord_bot\test_bot2.py", line 20, in start
await interaction.message.edit(view=self, content=f'INDEX-{i}')
File "discord_bot\venv\lib\site-packages\discord\message.py", line 1388, in edit
data = await self._state.http.edit_message(self.channel.id, self.id, **payload)
File "discord_bot\venv\lib\site-packages\discord\http.py", line 355, in request
raise NotFound(response, data)

discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10008): Unknown Message`

[tawny light]

Eh, I need exactly ephemeral messages ;c

[umbral hatch]

dont you need to followup?

im not sure, havent ever needed to respond twice to an interaction

[frigid breach]

I dont think u can edit with followup

[fossil sparrow]

ephemeral messages are fake messages, they aren't stored on discord's end so you cannot edit them.

They are sent to the client that interacted. E.g if you interact on PC, you wont see the message on your phone. They aren't synced

It's the same reason delete_after doesn't work on them

[cyan lantern]

we can edit them, store the message to variable

[heavy pagoda]

this is not true, I see them on both, and they're editable.

[fossil sparrow]

Oh damn, they must have fixed that. That's my bad.

[heavy pagoda]

specifically desktop -> mobile

but not the other way around

and I have an ephemeral paginator, which is definitely editing the message 😄

[fossil sparrow]

Well I figured it out

I think

inter = await interaction.response.send_message("First Response", ephemeral=True)
msg = await inter.original_message()
await msg.edit("Edit Response")

@tawny light

sent_interaction = None
for i in range(2):
  if i == 0:
    sent_interaction = await interaction.response.send_message(f'INDEX-{i}', ephemeral=True)
  else:
    msg = await sent_interaction.original_message()
    await msg.edit(f'INDEX-{i}')

[tawny light]

Wow, it works! Thank you all so much!
