I have a flow that needs to create multiple sctasks at one time. The number of sctasks can vary based on the amount of objects in a list collector on a catalog item.
I have successfully created all of the tasks needed at one time. I want to loop through the created SCTASKs and ask the correct group for approvals (a for each loop).
The problem I have now is I need to set an Approval on the SCTASK based on some decision rules. What I'm running into is it will do the Ask for Approval on one of them and after it's approved it will go to the next one. I don't want to stonewall the other groups that needs to approve the SCTASK by waiting, I want to create all of the approvals at one time for each of the items. They are not dependent on each other.
Any thoughts on how to do this?

Hi @Community Alums ,
You can try using 'Do the following in parallel' flow logic and put the all the 'Ask for approval' actions one by one under that. You may use 'Make a decision' flow logic as well along with 'Ask for approval' if there is need of condition based approval triggering for each approval.
If this address your question, please don't forget to mark this response correct by clicking on Accept as Solution and/or Kudos.
You may mark this helpful as well if it helps you.
Thanks,

Will this still work if I'm looking up the records first?
I think the problem is that it's looping through the created sctasks 1-by-1 and generating the ask for approval and then it's waiting for the approval before it continues to the next record.

Do you have the "Wait" checkbox checked on the Create Task flow action? You may need to uncheck it if so.

Wait is not checked
