Play from a position misbehavior

I created a position by using board editor and then sent the request to play to my friend. But colors got exchanged. Ideally whatever side I am in while using board editor, I should get that color.
Also now that the game is created incorrectly I want to abort it. there is no option to abort a game when I haven't even made a single move but started playing from a position. So correct logic should be don't allow abort if the clock has started and not if position is the starting position.
I am reffering a 2+1 game with nigelgerardperis. Please check.

To choose the colour, there is a toggle for White, Black, or random when you are doing the challenge. Select the one you want.

And as to aborting the game, I agree that it should be possible, but I can't help you with that. Maybe you could just resign?

I see this option when selecting play against computer but not when sending challenge from board editor, at least not in iOS. Can you help with a screenshot or something?

For me it's at the bottom of the challenge popup:

I don't use iOS so I don't know how it is for that but I would assume it is similar.
