I currently have a great problem with this same situation. And the solution the curstomer is requiring to me is very complex: - The pending status must send a notification to key users. - If those key users have 4 hours to review the case, and if not correct they can deny the pending status.

What kind of files do you attach? A simple check would be to see the extension and block some of them. For instance to not allow .exe. Anyway, In one of our customers' system, users do upload files with virus. This is done intentionally and part of security incidents. An finally, the solution

IMHO, this is restrictive to the users. Imagine the case, the user is assigned to an incident that needs in-place support. But the customer requires us not to go until the next week. So, you are forcing the user to periodically add notes and change the status.And if he forgets one time... he can
