One of our journals received a submission that has now been through one round of peer review with the decision to require revisions. The editors created a new review round and encountered a problem when trying to assign one of the round 1 reviewers to the 2nd round. Next to the reviewers name, there is a message that reads “This reviewer completed a review in the last round.” Is there possibly a setting that needs to be adjusted or some other way to allow the round 1 reviewer to be assigned to the 2nd round?
HI @nwojcik,
What version of OJS are you working from (e.g. 3.3.0-17)? Please indicate this in posts here on the forum.

Hi @rcgillis ,
We are still having a problem assigning a round 1 peer reviewer to the second review round. Our journals are operating on OJS 3.4.0.8.
Thank you,
Nicholas
Hi @nwojcik,
I’ve inquired with some of our other team members about this - will try to get back to you as soon as I hear from them.

Hi @nwojcik,
I’m trying to reproduce the problem in OJS 3.4. I see a Reassign
button, after clicking on it I’m able to assign the reviewer.
We were able to successfully reassign reviewer #2 to the 2nd review round. For that reviewer, there was a “Reassign” button. The problem only seems to be effecting reviewer #1, as shown in this screenshot; there is no “Reassign” button.
When I select the down arrow to the right of where the “Reassign” button should be, I get this:
