Workflow help

[Jen11]

Hello,

We have  a catalog item with an "Existing Approver" field which is not mandatory and a 'New Approver" field which is mandatory. 

Right now the workflow is as follows: Both the "Existing Approver" and "New Approver" needs to approve before a TASK is created. 

I would like to change the workflow to the following:

If "Existing Approver" is empty, then only the "New Approver" needs to approve before a TASK is created.  How should I go about changing this?

Thank you.

I think it should work as it is. If the Existing Approver is empty, it shouldnt generate an approval record. So only New Approver will approve.

Hi @Jen11,

It should still function but the workflow will throw an error.

e.g.

To prevent this, you can add a simple condition to the 'existing approver' child activity as something like:
