I agree that reopening complex request may cause more problems
But for those with two or three sequential work orders better option is to
give the possibility of reopening the request.
Leaving the decision of possible redirection to a separeate group assigned
to the new work order.
The only problem here is to have assigned different groups for different
service requests.
