Error message

reviewRequest requires an active review or approval stage

What it means

422 on issue update. Fires when a reviewRequest is submitted but the issue has no active review stage and no pending approval stage, so there is nothing to route the review request against.

Solutions

1. Correct the request so it satisfies the condition stated in the error message, then retry; see the throwing line in the named file for the exact check.
