The utopian contributor assign
As PO have the right to edit there requests when they please (and they should be able to) we as contributors have a hard time keeping up with the changes they make. In the past I had PO close tasks because they found what they needed. Therefore I was still creating even though it was no longer needed. This issue makes it so the contributor can no longer earn a upvote and did not know to stop and redirect his or here efforts towards a project that needed it.
Therefore I propose a solution.
A button in every request that you can click as a contributor to let the project owner know you are working on something for him or here. In that way if there are changes made the contributor can be notified. This notification can be done every time there is a change in the topic meaning that if the PO decides to make a alteration he knows that people who are working for him get the necessary info.
I conclude that this will require some extra fields in the database and that a contributor on utopian will need to share a notification email or a discord username or something similar. Maybe a notification if they enter the utopian site in a sort of pop up.
I believe that this could help with a lot of frustrations in the past and future.

I think the solution is that the deadline should be fixed in the task request post and will not be subject to any changes even if the PO has already found something he likes. I feel you bro. Wasted money can be regained but wasted time can never be brought back.
Indeed.
Your contribution cannot be approved because it is not as informative as other contributions. See the Utopian Rules. Contributions need to be informative and descriptive in order to help readers and developers understand them.
According to the Utopian updated rules, your suggestion needs to be put in detail format so that developers can follow your suggestions with all the technical information to implement the idea. Next time, use detail screen shots or video to show how the suggestion can be put in practical usage.
You can contact us on Discord.

A bit difficult to explain when you do not know how the background of a system is created.
But i made a new suggestion with more info:
