### Force Active and Force Verified behavior
63+
64+
Setting `active=true` (UI: **Force Active**) or `verified=true` (UI: **Force Verified**) on a Reimport will set the corresponding status on every matched Finding, **including findings that would otherwise be Inactive because they were Mitigated**. This is the same reactivation behavior described above, just made explicit on every incoming Finding.
65+
66+
Force Active and Force Verified do **not** override statuses that represent an explicit user or system decision about why a Finding should not be Active:
67+
68+
| Status | Does Force Active reactivate it? | Why |
69+
|---|---|---|
70+
| Mitigated / Closed | Yes | Same as the default reactivation behavior |
71+
| Risk Accepted | No | The Finding is Inactive because a user explicitly accepted the risk; reimport must not silently revoke that decision |
72+
| Duplicate | No | The Finding is Inactive because deduplication marked it as a duplicate of another Finding; the original Finding (not the duplicate) is what should be active |
73+
| False Positive | No | Same reasoning as Risk Accepted — an explicit triage decision |
74+
| Out of Scope | No | Same reasoning as Risk Accepted — an explicit triage decision |
75+
76+
If you want a Risk Accepted or Duplicate Finding to become Active again, you need to remove the Risk Acceptance or the Duplicate marker first. Force Active alone will not do it.
