Unable to update a replying annotation by calling updateAnnotation()

[tangyun]

Hi,

I wish to use the annotation manager's interface to update a replying annotation. But I'm getting this error: 

I've logged the data passed to the annotationManager.updateAnnotation() function before the error. 

kindly advise. thanks.

Sorry that you're facing this issue. 

Would be super helpful if you can share the detailed steps and we will look into the issue.

1. How are you adding the annotations and what kind of annotations are you adding? Sticky note, highlight, etc.?

2. Do you see this error only when updating replies or the issue happens with other annotation types as well?

3. Is your code deployed on a public site which we can run and try out?

Hi,

I've forked and modified the example repo at: https://github.com/ntutangyun/pdf-embed-api-samples 

Please check out the React example and go to the route: 

/annotationAPIs/UIConfigurations

as shown in the picture below: 

I've modified the code so that the built-in comment panel is shown so that you could add replies inside it. 

and the replies will also be shown on the right side managed by React.

I've tested the code and as shown in the picture.

It turned out that only for "freetext" annotation, its replies can not be updated from the right most panel (managed by React). the replies for "freetext" annotations can be updated in the built-in comments panel though.

the above issues does not appear for any other types of annotations such as notes or highlights. 

Please check.
