SharePoint content Approvals suddenly not working when approving via the 'Review Approvals Tab'

Hi,

I have content approval switched on in our SP Online site pages library. I have created a power automate approval workflow attached to this library which uses the Out Of The Box power automate workflow template.

This has been working fine and offers 3 ways to approve an item:
1) Approve via Teams notification
2) Approve via email Notification
3) Approve by selecting the 'Review Approvals' Tab on the SharePoint page

Suddenly the latter option (Review Approvals tab) does not give an option to approve it, it shows this message instead:
The item is still available to approve via email/teams notification so it is definately still awaiting approval, but the option to do it from here has dissapeared! (this is the most convenient way for us to approve)

Has anyone else come across this recently? Help! (I have attached my workflow to the end of this post)

Are you looking at the right Power Platform environment?

Hi @SudeepGhatakNZ

Thanks for the response, we only have the default environment so not sure what you mean by this?

I have noticed today an error message has appeared in the workflow, not sure if this may be the cause? I have seen this error message asked on google, but no-one seems to have given an answer nyet.

The power flow's logic app flow template was invalid. The 'type' property of template trigger 'manual' at line '1' and column '27923' has the value 'Manual' which is deprecated in schema version '2016-04-01-preview' and onwards.

How long has the flow been created? The error says that the value Manual is deprecated in schema version 2016-04-01 preview.

Please try to upgrade the schema to see if it will work. Please check this doc for more details:

I actually gave up on this. It appears that the Out of the Box template for approvals uses an old Trigger function that is no long supported (this is now 2023... you would think they would have removed it!)
I started over with a manual approval process triggered by 'modified by' ... happy days
