Denied Option to Edit Medical Data on CMU Computers

[Serhan]

This is a small fix for a basic issue, we are able to edit notes on our computers, why not the medical records? It is annoying to write out a full report and realising a typo or a missing information when you hit the submit button, also as the situation of some patients are dynamic and ambiguous at best, it is a good idea to be able to edit the existing ones instead of writing a fresh record or filling the notes (which are there to keep the CMU personel organized, not the patient datas) with texts about patients.

If the concern is that some people would manipulate the existing data in an IC situation, any compitent roleplayer that is able to reason clearly should know that the edits and previous versions of the records are saved in at least the database of Universal Union and would not dare to use it for their advantage, knowing very well that it will get consequences both OOC and IC.

Reason of Edit: Typos **Wink wink**​

The problem is that somebody could erase all the data one day and we will be left with nothing. It will also require dev time to have saves as well for a small thing.

If you have a random intern who proceeds to delete data as he pleases, that is a far bigger issue than having no medical data left. Anotherthing about this is that you cannot delete ''all'' data because how many patient's names and CIDs can you keep in mind? 5? 10? 20?It would be in the realms of FailRP anyways if you proceed to hit tab and start copy pasting the recognised characters from there, because I am certain that you would need the CID of that person aswell, hence doctors ask for name AND CID.
The exact editing option IS in the notes. It requires almost no development time and could be a fix alongside the upcoming update.

Let people edit the records they create themselves, but not anybody else's I think

You could just do addendums. You can't delete, only add.

Addendums is best for now.
