Standard Approvals Connection

Posted on by BP-12081500-0
I created an overtime tracking form for another department and when a request is raised by one of their employees, the requested by person being captured is me since the standard approval connection flow is linked to my account. How do I get around this? The requested by should reflect the person who initiated the request.

    Expand the advanced settings of the approval action. You can set who the approval comes from in the requestor field.
    When this is left blank, as you have seen, the approval comes from the flow owner.
