How do I auto approve the request in Flow Designer?

I want the Request to be automatically approved so it will go straight to asking for item approval.

My flow is working as expected except for the request part.

When I make test a request it says:

Approval = Not Yet Requested

Request State = Pending Approval

I've tried using the Action Update Request Record to change the Approval and Request State fields but it never does anything. Attached is screenshot of how I have it set up.

Can you share the screenshot of the error you face? Is something popping up when raised through a customer?

There's no error. The request just isn't auto approved based on the flow I have set up when I submit a request as a customer/requestor role. When I test as admin role everything works as expected.

Can you just run through all the BR’s on the Request table. Something in there must be conflicting. There should be nothing other than the BR that would cause this issue.
