What Out of box mechanism moves change requests back to New when they are rejected?

dear community, 

 

In our instance, when a change request is rejected during Assess/Authorization phase, they goes back to New. 

It seems this is an out of box mechanism that is behind this, could someone tell me which one?

 

I tried to check the change flows like Normal assess, Normal Authorize but did not see any step which indicates that changes should move back to New when they are rejected. 

I also checked business rules but didnt find any. 

 

Thank you in advance!

Hi @steven  

 

It is mainly driven via flow and i think it ishidden, did you try to see the script includes?

Hi @steven  

 

I tried to find out the code but did not get success, might log a Now Support case and let everyone know.

 

Manually we can bring back via UI action but in flow i am not able to find it.

 

@Sandeep Rajput  @Viraj Hudlikar any thoughts friends?
