Description
This is the first time I use matrix and I am blocked I can not understand why I can modify all the messages
here is the content that I send to the server to update a message

In fact I have messages when I make the modification I receive the event of the modification but when I reload metro I would have the old message I did not understand this behavior
why I cannot apply the change to all messages ?
Is there anyone who can explain to me please ?
