newForceReply not prompting reply interface and a possible solution

[Samuel]

Hello again...
I've been trying to implement the force reply option as stated in the telegram docs: https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#sendmessage and https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#forcereply
The following example was not working:

proc askme(b: Telebot, c:Command): Future[bool] {.async.} =
    var
      username = $c.message.fromUser.get().username.get()

      
   let replyMarkup = newForceReply(selective = true)
   discard await b.sendMessage(parseInt(chat), "u drunk @$1?" % username, replyMarkup = replyMarkup)

After analyzing the code I was able to make this work by editing the following code:

In Types.nim:

  ForceReply* = ref object of KeyboardMarkup
    forceReply*: Option[bool]  ## added this
    inputFieldPlaceholder*: Option[string]

In keyboard.nim

proc newForceReply*(selective: bool, inputFieldPlaceholder = ""): ForceReply =
  new(result)
  result.kind = kForceReply
  result.forceReply = some(true) ## added this
  result.selective = some(selective)
  if inputFieldPlaceholder.len != 0:
    result.inputFieldPlaceholder = some(inputFieldPlaceholder)

the code now works for me and prompts the reply after issuing the command. I don't know if this has been an issue before, but I hope it helps :)
