Steps to Reproduce
When user click "reopen" link to reopen a closed case, and then user click "Cancel" button. User expected that it will cancel the reopen action.
However, Pega just cancel the UI, but the "Reopen" assignment still there.
Root Cause
Confirmed from the Product management team, as its an expected behavior, refer to the below explanation.
Resolution
Explanation: When user clicked on the reopen link and then on Cancel button, it still stays in the reopen assignment in the Out-of-the-box (OOTB) reopen flow.

The flow is messed up at this point since the case is already open, but the available actions are still "Reopen last stage" and "Change stage"."
