Sometime I hae bid for a job and the buyer is interested. However sometimes once we have discussed the details of the job, or maybe the client has negotiated, the buyer wants to accept you for the job but you need to give a new price.

Currently the only way to do this is to cancel your old proposal and then send a new one but if the job has just expired then it gets really complicated and time consuming to re-propose.

This causes delays on starting the job. Or potentially loses the client.

  This would certainly be a useful feature, especially because most jobs require you to submit an estimate based on little more than a one line job description, just so you can ask the buyer questions in order to submit an informed proposal in the first place.

  Victoria & Vince is right. That's not fair that we need to cancel it and then resend the proposal with new bid credit.

  Regards

  Should be an essential part of the proposal system. That sellers should have to waste a proposal on an already 'accepted''job is pretty shitty.

  It's been the case in virtually all jobs I've done for clients here. Not on really.

  There should be an interim acceptance stage where the first proposal is 'accepted subject to change' which would either allow for editing of the original proposal or free submission of an updated one.

  Sellers should NOT have to foot the bill for this...

  The above comments were made 3 years ago, and still nothing has changed?  I still don't see any way to update a proposal other than submitting a new one.  Like mentioned above, this is an essential step, especially with the vague descriptions on most projects.
