It would be really useful if employees were able to submit an edit request when they want to change a leave request they have already submitted.
Currently, the only option is for them to submit a cancellation request and submit a new request once the cancellation is approved which is time consuming and not necessary.

Hi,
Not sure where to ask this, but whilst we can now edit a leave request, if the length of the leave is more than remaining allowance, it errors, even though in theory the allowance is there.
e.g if i have 6 days approved, and 3 days allowance left, and I want to reduce the approved leave to only 4 days, the edit wizard/pop up shows me that I'll then have 5 days allowance left. But when I then Submit changes, an error banner appears telling me I don't have enough allowance to make the change. Presumably because it is looking at the fact I want to 'book' 4 days and only have 3 days allowance. Despite the fact that in effect I have 6+3 days, as I am amending the 6 days.
Clearly the system is able to calculate the change as the preview in the window knows I will have a higher allowance once the change is made, but the actual processing is not doing the same calculation. Which means functionally, I still have to cancel and wait for approval before resubmitting.
This is also a problem for extending holiday, but the work around of booking the extra days as a separate request is no more time consuming than editing, just annoying as then it's split in the calendar.

Thanks for your feedback Lisa, it sounds like this is not working as intended. I'll log this as a ticket for you.
