Related mutations

• returnApproveRequest Approves a customer's return request. If this mutation is successful, then the `Return.status` field of the approved return is set to `OPEN`.
• returnCancel Cancels a return and restores the items back to being fulfilled. Canceling a return is only available before any work has been done on the return (such as an inspection or refund).
• returnClose Indicates a return is complete, either when a refund has been made and items restocked, or simply when it has been marked as returned in the system.
• returnCreate Creates a return.
• returnDeclineRequest Declines a return on an order. When a return is declined, each `ReturnLineItem.fulfillmentLineItem` can be associated to a new return. Use the `ReturnCreate` or `ReturnRequest` mutation to initiate a new return.
• returnLineItemRemoveFromReturn Removes return lines from a return.
• returnReopen Reopens a closed return.
• returnRequest A customer's return request that hasn't been approved or declined. This mutation sets the value of the `Return.status` field to `REQUESTED`. To create a return that has the `Return.status` field set to `OPEN`, use the `returnCreate` mutation.
