Detect replies and edit own message
Can I make my bot detect when a user is replying to it and then update the message that was replied to?
I have a bot that writes messages. And I want the ability to tell it to correct a message if I'm replying to it.

npm list discord.js and node node -v version?

i think u have to do ur own logical
there is nothing like that in discord js so u have to create ur own
I know I have to do the logic on my own. I just wanted to know if the basic components to assemble that logic existed.
I.e. does a variable/property exist that holds an instance of the message that was replied to, and does a function/method exist that lets me edit that message, if that message was indeed authored by the bot? I’m asking for a variable/property and a function/method. I know I have to write my own command using them, but I have to know whether they exist before I can use them to write my command/the logic.

Having a similar question. Working on a bot that will let an admin move questions to our forums channel.
From what I've seen we can easily get a reference to the parent message given we have the child via
Message#reference as mentioned. But what I really need is a way to gather all child replies given a parent Message.
I imagine we could listen to any ReplyMessage and keep them in the bot's memory. This seems overkill, but would work I believe.
