Prevent the status of an approval request from being changed

[Harold Hoyos]

In the table request, I need that when the request change to "On hold" don't change the the request to approval

This is the initial state

And this are the requestes

But if I change the state of the request to "On hold" the approval request change too

I want it to stay the same, any one have idea how to resolve that?

[Mark Manders]

Why would you put the state of the request to on hold? The approvers still need to approve, so the entire request is just there, waiting. On hold means that you are doing something to resolve the request, but need something else to happen to proceed, while in fact: you're not supposed to be doing anything with it. You just shouldn't touch requests that are awaiting approval.

[Harold Hoyos]

That's true, but the request approval state should stay same, if you see when the state change to On Hold, the request to appproval change too, I don't wanna that, this should be stay in requested

[Mark Manders]

That doesn't answer my question: why would you put a request that is waiting for approval 'on hold'? You acknowledge that my statement is true, but don't answer my question.
