After working in the site I was thinking that the Approve/Assign request feature is almost setup to allow you to do everything to a work order you would need to without having to actually open the work order
If there could be 2 enhancements - This button needs to stay present even after its assigned and if a status modal was added here as well. This would be a massive improvement to the current functionality of the site by allowing you to do everything you would need to do to a work order from 1 screen.
