Narrative:

While climbing out of ZZZ we noticed the 'flight idle stop open' light was illuminated. We then finished the after takeoff checklist. The QRH -- was then consulted and we found no procedures to follow. My duties were then to fly the aircraft and monitor ATC while the captain called dispatch. After repeated attempts of contacting dispatch we were able to contact dispatch. We also referenced the pilot handbook to find some guidance. Dispatch had us contact maintenance who told us to use caution on landing and be prepared to use the flight idle stop override if the power levers couldn't be retarded. At this time we decided to continue to the nearest airport which was ZZZ. While we briefed the approach we discussed the position of the power levers to avoid inadvertently placing them in ground idle. We landed on runway 12L and taxied to the gate with no incident.
