We have the situation where changing the problem.approval field to Requested, it sets all Approval records back to 'Requested'. I tried this on an OOTB instance and noticed it did not happen there. We would like to modify the modification, but I cannot locate the change... In a desperate attempt, I have deactivated all Business Rules and all Client Scripts on Problem and Task and it stills happens. I have checked the workflow context and there were none. Where should I search next? What else could modify the sysapproval record like this...
Solved! Go to Solution.

If this is not being managed by Business Rules or Workflows then it may be from Approval Rules.
System Properties > Approval Engines will show you how approvals on various tables are managed. If the Problem or Task tables shows 'Approval Rules' then you can manage these through System Policy > Rules > Approval
From your debug output above this looks like it might be the case!

The only other thing I know of that can automatically affect approval records is Process Guides - this is a legacy feature but I believe it is possible for it to kick in unexpectedly in certain circumstances so it may be worth turning all of those off as well
System Policy > service Catalog > Process Guides
