Issue Summary
Once a pull request is declined in Bitbucket Cloud, there is no option to revert or reopen it—even if the user has full admin rights or is the repository owner/manager. This can lead to workflow disruption, especially when the decline was accidental.
Furthermore, it is possible to decline a pull request that has already been approved by all reviewers, which can be unintuitive and potentially problematic.
Steps to Reproduce
Step 1:
Create a pull request in a Bitbucket Cloud repository.
Ensure all participants/reviewers approve the PR.
Step 2:
Decline the approved pull request, either as a participant or repository admin.
Expected Results
- There should be an option to reopen or undo a declined pull request.
- A pull request that has been fully approved should either require confirmation or have restrictions before it can be declined.
Actual Results
- The pull request is permanently declined with no option to reopen.
- A new pull request must be created, which results in a duplicate and may confuse reviewers or break CI/CD references.
- The system allows a PR to be declined even if all reviewers have approved it.
