Parallel group approval and all madnatory on flow designer

[Ankita9793]

Hi All,

Can someone suggest how can i trigger parallel approval in a flow and all are mandatory/ required.
I have a field called Group approval1 where i'm storing the sys_id's of these approval groups.

Group approval holds sys_id's of approval country group 

Flow : Ask for approval activity, i have configured it on Group approval1 field

Flow has triggered 2 country approvals correctly but if one country/group approval is approved. the other one is set to no loner required. In my case that should not happen, both should be mandatory

Hello @Ankita9793 ,

I have solved the similar use case using custom action :

In your case For example, if you have two approval groups:

ApprovesAllG[group1_sys_id]ApprovesAllG[group2_sys_id]

or, if only one approval is required from each group:

ApprovesAnyG[group1_sys_id]ApprovesAnyG[group2_sys_id]
