# Excerpt in Quick Edit

 * Pretty simple request and hoping to see it in a future version of WordPress:
   
   the ability to edit the excerpt in the Quick Edit screen on the Posts page. Seems
   everything else, including Tags, can be edited there, so why not the Excerpt?
   Thanks!

 * I would recommend leaving your request with the Core team as a ticket: [https://core.trac.wordpress.org](https://core.trac.wordpress.org)

 * Hello [@saladgoat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/saladgoat/)
 * Open a ticket is good idea so they can add this feature in future realse. but
   if you want this feature you should write custom code, there is filters and hooks
   available for customization.
 * Thanks,

 * [@threadi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/threadi/) This forum is called
   Requests and Feedback … I guess I don’t know what is the point of a forum for
   Requests if nobody from the Core team actually reads them….
 * [@chiragpatel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chiragpatel/) I wouldn’t know
   the first thing about writing custom code for that. If you can point me in the
   right direction, I’d appreciate it.
 * Thanks!

 * The WordPress Core team is busy developing WordPress. They are not here in the
   forum but on their own developer “playground”, the above mentioned Trac. Here
   in the forum you will only get support from volunteers who work with WordPress
   themselves. See also: [https://wordpress.org/support/guidelines/](https://wordpress.org/support/guidelines/)
 * As for hooks for quick edit, check this out: [https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/365150/how-to-add-a-custom-field-to-quick-edit](https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/365150/how-to-add-a-custom-field-to-quick-edit)

 * My point is that the forum is called Requests and Feedback. If the Team isn’t
   reading it, then it’s a bit of a pointless forum, isn’t it? If every request 
   someone posts is met with “you should post that in core.trac” why not just remove
   the forum and redirect to that in the first place?
 * Thanks for the links. Very involved (for my non-programmer brain) but I will 
   read it a few dozen times and see if it sinks in. lol

 * > My point is that the forum is called Requests and Feedback.
 * You’re right and thanks for the feedback.
 * > If the Team isn’t reading it, then it’s a bit of a pointless forum, isn’t it?
 * Not at all. Many of the requests and feedback here are addressed by volunteers.
   When someone has an idea and others think it should be submitted then they are
   asked to make a trac ticket about it.
 * _*Drinks coffee, so good.*_
 * If you do not want to make a ticket that’s fine. Think of this forum as a first
   pass. The trac ticket is the next step. Many ideas are addressed without submitting
   a ticket thus this forum.
