Request - Removal of "Add Reviewer" buttons

on the behalf of the Global AM Process team (and admin team for the Asset Management community in pRAM) I would like to approach you in regards of an issue in pRAM we face.
In pRAM there are more options for adding reviewers (or approvers):
?
A. in draft status using the button "add reviewers" at the top of the page (which takes you to the "Edit Lifecycle configuration" section)

B. in any status going through the menu Review to Edit Lifecycle configuration and there using the button "Add reviewers"

C.managing reviewers using the Modify option.


More info:

I would like to continue in the previously raised request (see details below)
1. If the buttons cannot be removed because they are a part of the RAM code, we would like to request some additional note (or warning) to be added next to the "Add reviewer" button (B) and also in the pop-up window which is triggered by clicking on one of the buttons A or B. In the note (or warning) should be described what exactly will happen with this kind of action (= what kind of reviewer is added this way).
Additionally I suggest to differentiate between the standard reviewer and the "temporary" reviewer somehow, so they can be easily recognized when setting additional options for the reviewers in the "Edit Lifecycle Configuration" mode. It is not possible to differentiate between the two types of reviewers in this table at all.
2. Based on my personal investigation I found that the functionality of the "temporary" reviewers added by the A and B buttons is still a bit different than described by you:
a) - reviewers added by A and B for the draft and review phase of the cycle don?t disappear when the asset is edited or moved to another phase of the cycle.
b) - reviewers added by A and B for the approval started phase do disappear when moved back to review/draft phase.
c) - what I find the most important characteristics for the reviewers added by the A and B options is that they are not listed in the main Asset Attributes.
Whatever are the true characteristics and rules for the reviewers added by A and B options, we request to be added as some note (or warning) as described in point 1 above so it is not confusing for the pRAM users!

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.
