Description

Description

Currently, when an application's status is 'changes requested' and the user edits their application, the status remains as 'changes requested'. It should automatically transition back to 'pending' to mark that the application is ready for an admin review.

Current Behavior
  • Application status remains 'changes requested' after the user submits edits.
  • Admins can't distinguish b/w a pending for review and changes requested application
Expected Behavior
  • When an application with status 'changes requested' is updated by the user, its status should change to 'pending'.
  • This transition should only happen if the application was previously in 'changes requested' state.
