stale_action

This proposed change can no longer be applied as it was proposed.

What this means​

Since the change was proposed, the resource it targets was deleted or moved, or the change is no longer one that can be made.

How to fix it​

Propose the change again so that it is made against the current state.

Retry behavior​

Approving the same proposal again gets the same answer.

How it appears in the response​
