If there were additional information added while in discussion chat of a question, should the question be edited or post a new question? [duplicate]

I was in a discussion with the original poster of this question and there was additional information added during the chat. After the chat ended, I edited the question but I didn't include the full additional information that we've discussed. Today I went to review the question again because I would like to see if I can re-construct the query in the answer that I posted to something better and I notice that there was a new answer posted. While the answer did solve the issue, the question wasn't including the latest information that was discussed in the chat. I guess that the OP should be responsible to update the question but since I already know the situation, I thought that I just edit the question and include the additional information.

Now I'm in a bit of a dilemma, part of me thinking that since the additional information was from the discussion then it shouldn't be wrong to edit into the question and another part of me is thinking otherwise. What would be the correct approach here?
