Withdrew proposal and cannot re-apply

I just withdrew a boosted proposal to make changes, and now I can not re-apply for the job posting. I wanted to make edits to my proposal, had no idea I would get blocked from re-applying. WANT this job!
I knew I would loose the connects, but I did not know I would get blocked.
Little help?

You cannot re-apply to the same job, if you withdrew the proposal.. 

Can not resubmit a withdrew proposal 

Boost the proposal

I have never read anywhere about being blocked from re-applying, and there was no type of warning when withdrawing proposal. The only thing I saw about withdrawn proposals was that you don't get the connects back.

IF there was the option to be able to EDIT a proposal, or change attachments, I would not have withdrawn.

I believe this is a debatable point. I have observerd client are able to edit the job post and modify the job description and terms. As a freelancer, if I observe changes in the Job post which I applied than I should be able to modify my proposal too.

Submitted a support ticket, don't know if it will help.

"If you withdraw a boosted proposal, you can’t submit it again (with or without boosting) and you will still be charged as if you had not withdrawn."

I didn't read that before, I thought it would work the same as unboosted withdraw, that you can re-apply for.

That doesn't make much sense.

No proposal edits, and no block warning when withdrawing, kinda blind-sided by it.

BAD policy.

Requesting policy change, or proposal editing.

 

Is it possible for the client to invite me after the boosted withdraw?

Hi Steven,

 

The client will need to create a new job post to invite you. They cannot invite you on the same job posting after you withdrew a boosted proposal.

 

If you were already in discussion with the client before you withdrew your proposal and the clients want to hire you, they can directly initiate an offer from your public profile. 

 

Thank you,

Pradeep

So there is NOTHING I can do for a minor error of wanting to edit the proposal?

Where can I make a policy change request?
Should not be blocked for withdaw of a boosted proposal, OR we should be able to edit a proposal or change/add attachments until it has been viewed by the client.
Unboosted withdrawn proposal is not blocked for re-applying but boosted withdraw is? That doesn't make sense.
