## Problem to Solve If you request changes on a merge request, and then subsequently also make a commit to that merge request you may be unable to clear the `request for changes`. This is because of the setting to [prevent approvals by users who add commits](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/approvals/settings.html#prevent-approvals-by-users-who-add-commits). ## Proposal ???? ### Workaround The status can be bypassed, which can get the merge request moving again, but it makes it seems somewhat more nefarious than it needs to be.
