  Reopen the Request: If the request is in a status that allows reopening (e.g., it is still in the development system and not yet released), you may be able to reopen it. However, this is generally not recommended for released requests.
  Consult with Basis Team: If you believe there is a need to change a released request, consult with your Basis team. They may have the necessary authorizations or procedures to handle such cases.
  Documentation: Ensure that you document any changes or reasons for creating new transport requests to maintain clarity in your development process.
