Approval in Flow Designer

Joshuu

Hi All,

 

For the enhancement table, I have created a flow in ServiceNow. But it is not working as expected.

 

There will be only one approval in flow. If it is rejected it should go back to the previous state. So, we have an UI action in that state to request for approval again. If we do that, it is requesting for approval again but also making the previous approval which is rejected as requested again which should not happen.

 

Could you please assist me on this.

When Approval is requested second time:

Try specifying both an approval and a rejection condition, below is the test flow I created to verify your question. Upon re-approval, the old approval is not updated and remains rejected

Hi @Kieran Anson ,

 

It is working as expected. The approval engine for enhancement table is not turned off. So I have updated the property and then it is working fine now.

 

Thanks for your help.

Hi @Joshuu 

 

I thought issue has been resolved, did you check OOTB change flow, as i suggested earlier.

Hi @Joshuu ,

To clarify, you're wanting the following outcome?

1. Upon requesting approval again for an already rejected record, any previous users who rejected are not request for further approval.

So using the above, As Cameron rejected, when re-triggering the approval, they shouldn't receive a secondary approval request the second time around?
