Hi,
Is there any option where we can prevent/restrict Submit of Power automate email Approval if comments are not entered.
 
Current solution found was to add validation after submit action.

    After the approver submits their decision, validating whether a comment has been added is the only way to do it given that the start and wait for an approval action cannot be changed to make comments mandatory. There is a video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LP77MvXSwLc showing you how to do this but I guess you might already have found that.
