Restrict: users can only write one answer to the same question

[fenbox]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Answer is a Q&A platform, not a forum. Some users mistake the answer section for a discussion area. Despite receiving prompts to edit their original answers, they keep adding new answers, breaking down the answer into several separate responses, making it difficult to accept the correct answer.

Describe the solution you'd like

By default, users can only write one answer to the same question.

1. Add switch option in admin -> settings -> write, default is "On".

   

2. When the user has answered the current question (excluding deleted ones):

   • Show “Edit my existing answer” which takes the user to the page where they can edit their answer.
   • When allowing multiple answers from the same user, display another button “Add another answer”. Clicking on it will prompt a dialog box as before.

Hi, I'd like to try this task. thx~

Hi @hgaol, I improved the description. You can give it a try.

Thanks @fenbox . I've thought it was more about backend.. I'm not so familiar with frontend but can have a try. If it's urgent, you can re-assign it to another guy. Or I'll take some time to ramp up. :)

Would love to take this up for a try :)

@hgaol Maybe you can write the backend first, and then we'll see if anyone can help write the frontend if we don't have enough time.

Hi @fenbox , sorry for late reply. For 'edit existing answer', what should we do if there're already more than one answers from same person? Should we show a model to let user select or just randomly select one to edit?

Hi @hg, in order to reduce complexity, I think it would be more appropriate to edit the one that was first posted.
