Change Management - Ad- Hoc Approvals

[leec1]

Since our deployment of Rome earlier this year and since the upgrade from Workflows to Flow designer, where the Approval co-ordinator functionality has been removed, we are no longer able to add ad-hoc approvals to the flow of any Change model. Has anyone else also seen this and what if anything have you been able to do to mitigate ?  Anything we try seems to have either meant heavy customization or would cause potential performance issues

Thanks

I agree with you. I was able to build a Subflow to allow for ad-hoc approvals, either users or groups or both. While it's seems somewhat complex, it's all low-code :). I've attached an update set you can review in your PDI. This might get you started with your solution.

Hi @Michael Fry1 

I have tried to use the attached flow for my requirement . where as i am stuck in row number 10 (ask for approval), i am able to get the group sys_id . and when i am passing it through the approval activity it is skipping the approval activity as per the output it shows "ApprovesAnyG[groupSys_id]. which looks like correct but not sure why it skipping the approval activity .

Thanks and Regards

Thanks

Line 10 is looking for any approver at line 7. If you look at your execution, do you have any approvers at line 7?
