Right, and the developer who was at the bottom of the chain might want to clean up the page a bit, but the person above him can't sign off on something like that, nor the person above him. Approval for any modifications has to come from the woman who wrote the business spec that was contracted by your boss's boss's boss and her company has allocated her to another project right now and won't be able to shift hours to handle your request until March.
I’d just make the smallest change that “fixed” the problem (in this case for example including the action title in the comfirmation, and calling the non-test vs test action something more clear etc.)
My superior would just have to solve the problem of getting the spec change cleared or find another developer. If that was somehow even seen as a problem by the superior - same thing - they’d have to find another developer.
