Hi @syam1,
You can change the conditions in the Change approval policy, to skip approvals:

@syam1 We have dedicated workflows flows working behind the scene for Normal, Emergency and Standard changes, you can put an additional IF activity to check the environment and on the basis of it can skip the CAB approval if the environment is other than production.
Hope this helps.

Hi Sandeep,
We have tried that but it is not changing the state and tried flow formatters also. Nothing seems to be worked
