Flow skips approvals due to invalid rule?

Hi

I have a subflow that runs on change requests when a specific set of conditions are met (outage) and triggers various approvals for this.

The issue I have is that the sub flow is only triggering approvals  when there is a outage created on the change request.

 

It is skipping approvals when change req has no outage and automatically transitioning to Scheduled state.

 

Error: Skipping approvals due to invalid rule: ApprovesAnyOrRejectsAny

I believe the error relates to this step in the flow as this what should trigger approvals:

if you are using Ask for Approval action then you should set some user or group

this is empty in your screenshot and hence the error

The group/user details are collected in earlier steps using a script, the script is fetching the affected CI support group details:
