Will Accepted issues/hotspots appear again as New if the issue's definition or severity changes?

I am using SonarCloud and have some low security hotspots that I want to mark as Accepted. However, if down the road, the severity of the type of hotspot is bumped up to Medium or High, will SonarCloud mark these previously accepted items as new?

I feel it should as a change in severity should indicate a need to be re-assessed.

Thanks

Hi Adam,

This isn’t something we currently do, although it sounds imminently reasonable. I’m going to let the PMs know about this need.

Hi @deuceqhr ,

I completely agree with Ann, this sounds like a great idea. I have added it to our internal feedback system so that we can take it into account as we look at the Hotspot/Issue workflows. Thank you for the suggestion!
