      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.
