Vulnerability response state changes to "In review" when request exception button is clicked.

Hi, 

There is a requirement to change the state directly to differed state when we click on "Request Exception"button on Vulnerable item. But when we perform the action the state is getting set to "In Review". Please help me finding how and where exactly the state is updated.

Hi Deeksha - You are correct that the state when an exception is requested is "In Review" as per the default exception management approval process, until it is accepted/rejected by an Exception Approver. Once accepted, it would change to a deferred state. You have the ability to define different approval paths by creating configurations for approval rules. The following product documentation may be useful: Create configurations for an approval rule, as well as this forum post. Hope that helps!
