Allow admin users to edit submissions

feature request: Would it be possible to allow users with appropriate permissions (eg system admins) to edit submissions?

Use case: We use this activity to invite suggestions for topics that users would like us to cover in our course. Ideally we want suggestions to be short/concise so that other users can clearly understand them and vote on them. In the case where suggestions are long or unclear, we (admin users) would like to reword them to make them more understandable to other users.

Sorry, I would greatly prefer not to allow anyone to edit an entry. To me, that just opens up too many potential problems with "ownership" due to GDPR. I will mention, that the next release, coming out "soon," will include Comments, so the teacher, or anyone else, can ask for, or give, clarifying comments.

Thanks for the speedy responses to this and the other comments/requests I submitted. Greatly appreciated :)

I am closing this issue as I will not change to allow editing, due to possible GDPR problems. What a teacher or admin can do, is hide or delete the original question, and make a new entry, in a new reworded version. Better yet if the activity is graded, inform the student and have them create a new reworded version.
