Hi @nameisnani 

Is your line manager is same for all items ? If not same, is it from any logic like requested_for.manager ? If the line manager is different for all items & the Approver 2 is also different for items. You can do mapping, while creating an array in the script part of approval. 

Storing the Key value pair in an array like below & utilize them in mapping. Use the same approach in approval2 as well. 

var appr = [
  { FS Support : "Line Manager" },
  { FS Corporate Action: "Line Manager" }
];

Hi @nameisnani 

I hope it is Request For > LineManger (i.e request_for.manager)...

For Approval 1 :

You can create 1 activity of approval in place of many which trows approval to request to requested_for.manager and you can map the same activity every time you need to send approval for requested_for.manager.

For Approval 2:

You can maintain the group approval activity in the workflow. If you again dont want to have many activities in chart you can create 1 script activity which will trigger a flow to a given group based on sys_propery value. You need to create 1 sys_properities in json value pair with all groups.

I hope this helps...
