New Place Address
I'm not sure if it's a minor-bug or intended, but I ask you to take a look:
Issue regarding Map Editor Beta and Production.
:arrow: When you find a new place waiting for approval, if you click on the red arrow everything runs smooth, but if you feel the need to click on the yellow arrow to check what's that place is about before approving it (sometimes you can't tell just by the name title), notice it isn't possible to change the address... well maybe it's ok at this point before approving it.

After you Approve you can't still change it.
(attachment 2)You need to click on the map background to remove selection and the click on the place again and now you can change the address. In my opinion this extra step is unnecessary.

Hey!
Thank you very much for this great suggestion.
It was added to our backlog to try and see the possibility to implement it.
Please note there is no ETA for it yet.
Best,

jonv-uk, you missed my point, I know you can't make any changes before approval. I was talking about after approval, you can't make any changes on address, only after you click on the background to remove selection and click again on the place.
Even if it's a place with a lot of errors, if the user is registered and we have a way of contact, we should approve it, fix the errors and reach to that editor so we can teach him how to do good editions, that's the spirit of a healthy community. Plus, the place stores important history, created by that editor.
On the other hand, if the user isn't registered, you can approve it anyway and fix the errors since he won't receive any tally of approved places.
I believe this post it's on the right place since it's a suggestion. Cheers.

This has always been the case for as long as I can remember.
You can't make changes to a place with updates pending, your only choice is to Reject or Approve it.
If the update only has minor errors I'd Approve it, Save, then correct the errors.
With the example you gave there are so many errors I'd reject it and, if it is a genuing place, create it yourself. That way you are not adding to the editors tally of approved places, leading to them being able to add places unchecked.This probably isn't the correct forum for this kind of issue, the Waze Editor - Topics would be appropriate
