Hello all,
I am wanting to select a specific user from an assignment group to be chosen as the approver for a request, could this be done by scripting the approval?
I have a group with 7 members, and based on the if conditions in the flow, i would like the approval to go to a certain user from the group.

If you just want the approval for only one user. Then you shouldn't be using group approval in the first place. The point of selecting a group is to send approval requests to all the members of the group. So just select that specific person as an approver instead of selecting the group.
Let me know if there are queries or pls mark helpful if it answered
Regards,
Muhammad Arafath

If that person is a member of that assignment group, then he will inherit the roles required even if you use him as an individual approver.

@Arafath Correct, my request has approvals based on regions. Putting all potential approvers in one assignment group and having the specific approval user be selected based on the region is the intent. Wanted to avoid creating multiple assignment groups.
