Posted on by P_Anica

Hello,

I'm creating a flow to approve documents on a sharepoint document library, the document library has set the option Require content approval for submitted items, the flow consist in a sequential document review process sending some emails to the reviewers, my problem is that at the end I have an Approval of type everyone must approve with more than one approver, the approval get allways cancelled by the system even all approvers approved the document. If I have only one approver I have no problem. Are any restriction on document libraries items to have more that one approver ?

Thank you in advance for your help.

No there isn't a limitation on using the All must approve option for document libraries. Can you show us a screenshot of the flow? Then we can try to help figure out what is wrong.

Not sure if this is what is causing it, but the one problem I see is with you condition following the approval. You are checking Outcome is equal to "Approve". That is the condition for a single Approval. But when you do the All must approve then outcome is a string that concatenates all the Approvals together. So to properly test for two approvers it would be "Approve, Approve". Using the condition the way it is now it will always fail with more than one approver. You may have to switch it around and check for

Outcome contains "Reject"

If it doesn't then everyone approved.

@Pstork1thank you so much, I were thinking that the outcome would have a single value.
