Change "Rejected" to Something More Positive

couldn't agree more!! a few suggestions:

• Not Approved
• Not Quite
• Revisions Needed
• Try Again
• Changes Required

Completely agree with this! I think it's actually causing some users to select the wrong option.

Agreed. Not Approved would be fine. Rejected is harsh.

Hey everyone! Thank you for all of this feedback and these use cases, it's all been passed on to the Product team. 

A customizable option would be great since many companies use their own language to say something isn't right yet.

Hi everyone! This suggestion is definitely on the team's radar; thanks a lot for supporting the idea!

Clearly no updates since this was requested 2 years ago!!!

LOVE the customizable idea or how about needs changes or not approved. SO Simple. I've had employees actually tell me it makes them feel bad to see "rejected"

Yes, I hoped when I saw a notification that there was an update to this thread that something changed. It's sad to see that this simple request is being ignored by Wrike. 

Hi Alison Herbert, Craig Brimanson, thanks for checking in here! 

I'm happy to say that we are currently looking at updating this. I don't have any other news to share on this just yet, but as soon as I do I'll be sure to update this thread. If you need anything else, don't hesitate to ask 👍

Any updates on this? Would be great to customize this message.

Hello Sean Haas, I've asked for an update from the team and I'll be sure to let you know if there are any news 🙋🏻‍♀️

Hi everyone, a quick update to let you know that we don't have any further information at the moment, but we will post here as soon as we have some news. Thank you for your support 🙋🏻‍♀️

Totally agree!  Would love to see a "Revision Requested" or something else that seems or "Changes Requested".

"Rejected" is a little too harsh. Would like to see "Revision/Changes Requested"

Thank you for supporting this suggestion, folks 🤗

Just had this convo with one of our designers today. Make it more fun/interesting (and less harsh). Could totally align with Wrike's brand personality. Try again (we know you can do it). If at first you don't succeed... or whatever (something better and more thought out). 

Welcome to the Community Brice Holland 👋

I apologize for the late reply - I needed to check with our Product team to see if there are any changes planned. They are aware of this feedback and they receive regular updates on the new feedback here. For now, this idea isn't on their short-term plans, but we are grateful for the feedback and your suggestions here, we'll keep you posted if there are changes in the future 🙂

I am very disappointed that an issue that could be resolved with something as simple as changing 1 word, and that could have such a positive impact is clearly shelved as unimportant. Wrike clearly doesn't care about it's users. Community team members, stop replying to say it's on your radar. All that does is say you understand it's important to others but you don't care enough to do anything about it.

Hi Alison Herbert, thank you for your continuous support for this suggestion, I'm sorry to hear you're disappointed. 

We’d love to be able to implement all of the suggestions that our customers share with us, but we have to prioritize certain requests over others based on various factors and considerations at the time. Although this isn’t currently planned for the short term, we will continue to pass on all of your feedback and insights here to our Product Team and of course, we will let you know if anything changes. 

I think your Product Team is likely composed of engineers, which is why so many of these "nice to have" suggestions don't get addressed (see the name "Wrike," another thread I'm following). Maybe have them pull in a brand experience/customer service person - like you! - next time they are prioritizing the backlog. 🙃

It would be fantastic to have a comment option pop up after clicking Approved or Changes Required. 

Hey folks, please rest assured we bring up this topic with the team regularly 🙌

The "Reject" term is very discouraging for the person rejecting the item and those who have to admit the changes. It seems like a simple word but it's mentally discouraging for people and the workflow.

It's also discouraging it's been 3 years since this has been brought up. 

Hi Dylan Christ, welcome to the Community, and thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. 

Thanks for your support @... & Lisa! 

I would like to add my thoughts and also inquire about any updates. The word used is disheartening, and it would be better if we could customize our options to align with our company's culture and tone. I am eagerly anticipating a prompt update on this matter.  #YouCanDoIt #RejectReject
