Hi
1) I'm trying to create a group approval(sysapproval_group) using create or update action in flow designer, if I'm submitting a request it asking all the approvers to approver the approval instead of one approver(approve or reject).
2) if short description is updated in group approval while creation can we populate the same in the individual approvals
3) As we use inline script for ask for approval action to pass multiple sysid, can do the same for group approval in create or update action in flow
thankyou
Solved! Go to Solution.

If I understand your question correctly, the first part is simple enough to do with the "Ask for Approval" flow action. It would just look something like this:
The second part seems like it would be doable with a second action or business rule, but I don't know how helpful it would be.
I'm not understanding the 3rd question.

In the Ask for Approval action, ensure that the condition is set accordingly.
There might be one general rule "Approve or Rejects" When.... and there are options:
- Anyone approves - one person in the group regardless who,
- All user approve - every single members in the defined group,
- % of users (e.g. 51 % regardless whom in particular)
- # of users (e.g. at least 3 regardless whom in particular)
And this can be done equally for Approve or Reject, ooooor you can have Approve by All user approve and Reject by Anyone rejects...
Pay attention to this, it might be the thing:
The group Approval works fine for me, there is however issue when it requires more Approvals (first Manager, then Group, and then another one) - as it is OOTB switching the stages Requested > Approved > Requested > Approved and it is polluting the Notes section
Another thing is to play with the stages maybe, to add a stage you have to hover over into lines between two actions and a bubble will occur:
Let me know if you get somewhere with this or not..
