Select Menu Reset
how can I reset a select menu after someone picks an option and I show them a modal? Since I already replied with the modal, I can’t use interaction.update(). I just want the menu to go back to default (no option selected) without having edited tag to the original message.

I’ve seen ticket bots do this when I click an option, the modal pops up, and at the same time the select menu resets back to default, even without submitting the modal, and without the (edited) tag
Thank you for your response but do you think it’s possible to reset the select menu back to default even if I don’t submit the modal? I’ve seen a ticket bot do this, and that’s the functionality I’m talking about
This gif might help in elaborate with what i am trying to achieve , it reset after the modal is open.
Sorry, yes i have this application in the guild and i tried with editreply but it has no effect on it and with interaction.message.edit it leaves edited tag on the original message
in that gif i selected "one" option from drop down after clicking on within next few seconds and model appear it removes user selection
i am trying to replicate it but i am not sure how to do so? i find that interaction.update does it but i am confused how are they using it after showing the modal then clearing the user selection
it does reset, but after a while
I think an empty editReply can work
at least an empty update does but given you're showing a modal you can't use that
alright i try once again 👍

this?
Hi, Yes exactly like that
At first, I was using
.unpin(), but I ran into issues with it when dealing with audit logs or pinned messages.
It took me quite a while before I finally discovered .suppressEmbeds(false) 😢thank you much ❤️ bless you man!
it worked.
Happy to help, bye!

Okay, but what if my message is ephemeral?
I don't know. Maybe an error occurs.
Yes, an error occurred because it did not find
interaction.message..., do you know of any optimized way like the previous one that I can use in ephemeral messages?Sorry, I don’t know.
If it’s an ephemeral message, then it shouldn’t be a problem even if a “edited” tag is attached :)
<Message>.suppressEmbeds() attempts to use <Message>.edit() which would error since you can only edit ephemeral messages through the interaction webhook
you'd need to use <Interaction>.editReply(), which since you're using showModal, I believe you'd need to specify the message option
as mentioned above, I believe even an empty edit should work, but if for whatever reason you believe editing with the exact same flags is what works, by all means go ahead
🍉 👍
your IDE underlining
flags makes me wonder if it's telling you that flags isn't an option which would suggest you need to update discord.js
(but also if it works anyways, then really you could do an empty edit)Thank you very much!
The underline is there because it’s a flag that can’t be applied to
editReply.
It’s impossible to edit a non-ephemeral message into an ephemeral one.
I can’t add emojis to messages though!! LOLThe thread owner has marked this issue as solved.
