Problem Summary:

It seems that the mod function designed to convert an answer post into a question edit (Mod > Convert To Edit) is not functioning correctly.

Issue Screenshot

Detailed Description of the Bug:

Specifically, it appends it to the question, without considering that an image already exists (referenced by [1] in the original answer). The image links should have been added to the existing list, which ended at [3] in the original post; the new image reference should have been incremented to [4] accordingly. Instead, the function fails to adjust the numeric list, causing the new image to incorrectly reference [1], which was already used by a previous screenshot.

Issue Markdown Incorrect

Suggested Fix and Question:

What the function should ideally do is:

  1. Insert the new content before the existing image references at the bottom.
  2. Correctly update the numeric list so that it continues from the last image reference in the original answer.

In the meantime, I had to adjust this manually. Is Stack Exchange already aware of this issue? It seems like a relatively simple fix to implement.
