Allow Requesting of Partially Available TV Show Seasons
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Some shows on my Plex server are incomplete, either because I missed some episodes or they are currently airing. To me, I should be able to request the show like I would for a new show and have it in the list of requests.
Describe the solution you'd like When requesting more on a show that has seasons marked as "Partially Available", allow users to request those seasons like they would request a season that is not available.
Describe alternatives you've considered The above solution is the most straightforward. Notification behavior for this kind of request would be a bit tricky to nail down, but I could see either a notification going out whenever a new episode appears in Plex or one notification when the whole season is available.

My apologies since this is slightly off topic. I was curious if it is possible to disable Stalebot for a specific issue since it looks like we've gotten it a few times here.
It looks like it is possible to add exemption labels: https://github.com/marketplace/stale
It also looks like we have a few labels that we could apply that would cause Stalebot to stop trying to close the issue: https://github.com/sct/overseerr/blob/develop/.github/stale.yml#L6-L9
Maybe it's worth adding a new label to .github/stale.yml that we could use on this and a few other issues to calm Stalebot down for longer issues that we don't want to be marked as stale every few months. Some possible labels could be IgnoreStale or longterm. Would just be 1 line, happy to make a PR if that's helpful.
I believe this feature would cover your request? #342
For me this would be a yes.
At least on my flow, I've started using Overseerr after my *arr libraries were populated, so there's a lot of "Already requested" and partially available content in the library.
Being able to submit a request for Partially available or re-requestion something that's considered "Requested" (because its present in *arr) but there is no present request in overseer.
For me re-requesting would allow it to trigger a new search on *arr to try to get any missing content (This also applies to Radarr, just specifying it as the FR name specifically states TV Shows)
Just to shed some light on this issue:
Currently, it isn't possible to allow requesting of partially available seasons, since Overseerr does not track the status of individual episodes. Each season has a status of UNKNOWN, PENDING, PROCESSING, PARTIALLY_AVAILABLE, or AVAILABLE. As such, an item being partially available and requestable are mutually exclusive.
Once episode requests (and thus, individual episode statuses) are implemented, Overseerr will be able to recognize partially monitored seasons as such. So, unfortunately this feature request is blocked by #342 (and should perhaps be marked as a duplicate?).

I know this is bad GitHub etiquette but posting so that stalebot doesn't close this issue. I know I'm interested in the notification aspect of this. https://github.com/sct/overseerr/issues/1293

Unstale please 😇 (Please let me know if there is a better way to accomplish this)

I would want this too. Ability to request partially available show. Request button is not available.
