new at using JOSM - how go back and edit my work?
Posted by ahoff12 on 20 September 2014 in English.I mapped with JOSM for the first time yesterday and realized after that I forgot to add the requested comments to my work. I don’t know how to go back and find them to add the following information. I have been working on #624 Ebola Outbreak, Eastern counties, Liberia, road network Created by AndrewBuck http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/624 This is the information I forgot to add as a comment:
Comment the changeset=Liberia, #hotosm-ebola-lr-624, Credit=HotOSM, source=Bing
I see that the entries are tagged according to the editor. So all of my edits in JOSM that were done on Sept 19th and 20th should have that information. I am not sure who I should contact this about so I put it in the comments and also here.
I wish I knew how to go back and find my work so I could comment on it. I know I was working on Project #624 but I do not know how to find out which tasks I was working on so I can go back and leave a comment.

The changeset comments are handy, but they’re not the most important. The data you added is more important. The changesets are just used to do some stats.
So there’s no need to fix that, just use the right comment on the next tasks you do ;)

Furthermore, there is no way to change them once the changeset is closed.

Dont worry if you didnt add them previously, just add them in future. they are useful and important as they give an indication as to what you were editing but dont sweat it if you forget them now and then
