I just recently posted the below question that has a solution, however once I got past the first bit, I now have a follow up issue I need help with.
Solved: Help with flow action getting comment and removing... - ServiceNow Community
On a flow that has multiple approval levels, how do you get the comment from the correct approval?
So for example the request requires a manager approval, followed by a group approval from the finance team.
So in the above solution, it simply gets the first approval comment and uses it for the manager approval, works perfectly.
However, when it is used again it doesn't get any comments, which appears to be because there are no new comments on the first approval, they are no being added to the second level approval.
I did add the action again, just after the "ask for approval" and just before I wanted to add the comments from the second approval.

I have now been able to workout how to get the comments of the correct approval each time and have created an update set that makes it reusable in Flow Designer through a custom action:
Flow Action - Lookup approval comments
Thank you to @Ravi Chandra_K for your help in my original question.

Via a flow adding the action to get the comment, then adding the comment via a data pill in an update record action. It's the same way I did it for the manager approval as well.

Does anyone have ideas on this?
Unfortunately without an answer to this it makes the previous solution only any use if there is a single approval.
