creator of a poll should be able to edit it

It would be great to give creator the possibility to edit the poll afterwards, by setting a password during creation.

(Maybe that is not possible due to the security architecture).

Feature is on roadmap. Will be added in future. Api backend should be rewritten before since current code is not maintainable. #7

Expiration date should be also editable.

In a recent discussion we came up with the idea of not providing an edit possibility for polls (for now) but a way to clone / fork an existing poll (without it's participants) with edit possibility. This would work very similar from an UX perspective. The user is able to reuse all input and only change some options. But it's way less complex as we don't have to handle authorization. This would also work for polls regardless if they already have participants while editing would add a lot UX questions around that topic.

I think that is a discussion about two separate topics:

1. Have an option to edit a poll.
2. Have an option to clone a poll.

I am not aware about the state of the discussion but I would strongly object to implement 2) instead of 1). Currently 1) is the most requested feature. I can see that it requires a lot more development effort than the second option, but this feature should not be ditched. Maybe it should be tackled in future releases.

If only the second option would be implemented, a user would be able to clone his poll and edit the content. But I assume, all users who already voted have to vote again, am I correct ? In bigger polls that is not an option and would drive the users to other services.

I think option 2 is a good idea though and I see many usecases for that and we should also go for that!
