A vulnerability Item still moves to 'Deferred' state rather than 'In Review' even when the system property (sn_vul.vulnerable_item.approval_required) is set to true Issue

The expectation of setting the system property ( sn_vul.vulnerable_item.approval_required ) to true is when an existing Vulnerability Item in Open state is set to Deferred the state of the Vulnerability Item should move to 'In Review' state.

Steps to Reproduce

Expected working behaviour with the property set to false :

1) Activate the Vulnerability Response Plugin on an OOB (Out of Box) Kingston P8 instance 2) Set the property (sn_vul.vulnerable_item.approval_required) to false 3) Open an existing Vulnerability item which is in an OPEN state, click on the 'Close/Defer' UI Action. 4) In the popup window change the State to Deferred and sub state to Cancelled and set a date, click submit. 5) The State of the Vulnerability Item state should change to ' Deferred '.

Expected working behaviour with the property set to true :

1) Activate the Vulnerability Response Plugin on an OOB Kingston P8 instance 2) Set the property (sn_vul.vulnerable_item.approval_required) to true 3) Open an existing Vulnerability item which is in an OPEN state, click on the 'Close/Defer' UI Action. 4) In the popup window change the State to 'Deferred' and sub state to 'Cancelled' and set a date, click submit. 5) The State of the Vulnerability Item state should change to ' In Review '.

Unexpected behaviour with the property set to true :

1) Activate the Vulnerability Response Plugin on an OOB Kingston P8 instance 2) Set the property (sn_vul.vulnerable_item.approval_required) to true 3) Open an existing Vulnerability item which is in an OPEN state, click on the 'Close/Defer' UI Action. 4) In the popup window change the State to 'Deferred' and sub state to 'Cancelled' and set a date, click submit. 5) The State of the Vulnerability Item state should change to ' In Review ' but moves to ' Deferred '

Cause The workflow (Vulnerable Item State Approval) associated skips the Group Approval stage and moves the state to 'Deferred'

This happens when the Group (Vulnerability Response) does not have any members, since there are no members the Group approval stage is skipped.

Resolution Add member(s) to the Vulnerability Response group and re-run the test, notice that the state of the Vulnerability Item will move to 'In Review' and not 'Deferred'.
