A self-service way for ESG metric assignees or approvers to re-open a metric task or restate/adjust a metric

We're looking for a solution or best practice to handle this situation: sometimes, a metric data assignee or approver will encounter one of these scenarios AFTER an ESG metric task has been completed:

A realization that, despite the metric value having been approved, it is nevertheless inaccurate, insufficiently precise, etc.
The calculation method for the value needs to change, and hence the value needs to be updated (e.g., due to a change in emissions modelling / best-practice calculation approaches).
Newly available support/evidence has been identified that should be attached to the metric as a supporting attachment.

In some cases, this merely calls for an update/replacement of the original value; in other cases, the value needs to be restated (adjusted) so that it lives alongside the original value.

The problem is that, typically, it is the metric assignees/approvers who first have the awareness that something needs to be changed/restated, not the ESG Program managers, and sometimes the former do not know the latter. So to get the task reset to allow for an updated value or a restatement (etc.), there is the usual back-and-forth of e-mails and messages to connect the right people so that the metric data collection process can be opened back up. While some of that can be handled with instructions, etc., it would be nice if an assignee or approver could request the task be reset and/or reset it themselves with the program team notified.

The ability for an assignee or approver to reopen or recall their completed task is a great one, Andrew McKenzie, for all of the reasons you describe above. I've passed along your thoughts to the team, which has already been discussing this need (along with improvements to restatements in general, which you also touch on here). Thanks for the insight!

I would also like to see such a functionality for the assignee or approver to request the task to be reset within the ESG program or related task and for the program manager to receive such a message and reset and resend with one or two clicks.
