Known issues

  1. Don’t copy macro. Configuration and user’s selections are copied with macro content. Instead of copying just create a new macro.
  2. Be aware that changing the macro configuration may affect the user experience: users may see voters when they're not supposed to, or see multiple selections for a macro where it was recently disabled. We encourage page editors to create a new macro for each new topic.
