I recently asked a questionasked a question and when the answers came in I realized that my question was not asking what my brain was asking. I think now, instead of "Color label and rating recommendations," the question should be along the lines of "managing progress through the workflow" or something. My instinct is to edit the question to reflect what I had intended to ask, but it seems to me that the question may differ enough that the answers already submitted would be almost wildly out of place in the context of the new question. Any thoughts on how I should handle this?

When, if ever, does refining a question need to be a new question?
