Article was declined, Reviewer's overdue reminder still sending

Dear all,
I am using OJS 3.1 and here is an issue I found out, maybe a bug.
When the editor decides and decline an article, there may be a few reviewers are still in “overdue” or “accept” status. After the article is declined, I found out that the reminder emails are still sending out, and reviewers can still access to the article and make comments.
Please kindly let me know how to fix this.
Thank you very much.

Hi @mujiec,

Is that OJS 3.1.0-0 specifically?

I have seen the same problem with a journal using OJS 3.1.1.4 and am also keen to fix this.

Hi @asmecher
I am experiencing the same issue.
In fact, after the reviewer accept the invitation to review, journal manager/Admin don’t have any option cancel the review request.
I am using OJS 3.1.2
Thanks

Hi @seisense,

A feature to allow the cancellation of an already-accepted review was recently added to the codebase, and will be released with OJS 3.2. (Improve editor control over reviews · Issue #2508 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub)
