How to get mandatory approvals from two people in a workflow and until the two of them approve, it should be 'Requested' and once both of them approve then only it should be 'No longer required'.

Hi Guys,

Let me know how to get mandatory approvals from two people in a workflow and until the two of them approve, it should be 'Requested' and once both of them approve then only it should be 'No longer required'. If the first person has approved, still it should be in Requested state until one more person approves and then no longer required.

How do I achieve this from a workflow ?

Thanks,

Can you try with Approval User activity

Hi,

I tried the same on my dev instance and it worked.

Can you please share the screenshot of the apporval activity where you are setting these conditions?

Hi,

There are 2 methods.

1) You need to use Approval User activity (if there is only a single group is involved).   My script will work in this method. You are currently using Approval Group.

2) You need to use Approval Group activity (if there are multiple groups are involved). In this case try following script

var id=0;

for (var id in groups) {

var group = groups[id];

if ( group.approved ==2)

{

answer='approved';

}

}

Plz set the for loop depending on number of groups involved.
