How to undo a declined request to review a aubmission?

We are using 3.3.0.13.

We requested one person to review an article and he declined. I see the @hickeygamez queried this issue in Feb 22 and was told that an option to permit declined reviews to be reinitiated · (Issue #4789).

Does this functionality now exist?

For anyone who is reading this and using an earlier version such as we are, it is possible to modify the entry in the “review_assignments” table by changing the value for both “declined” and “canceled” to “0”. Mousing over “email reviewer” under the reviewer in question will display “review_assignment=xxxx” which is the entry that needs to be modified. I hope this helps others in my predicament.

Hi @trobb49,

It does exist, but for OJS 3.4: Permit declined reviews to be reinitiated · Issue #4789 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub - you’d have to upgrade to take advantage of this feature.
