I created page approval workflow for one of our SharePoint site. The workflow works fine when I login as Global Admin user. However, When regular users try to submit page for approval, they get stuck at following screen. The continue button is disabled and does not allow users to Submit the request.

    Yes, there should be just one approval connector for the tenant. At least only one for the default environment, which is where all approvals created from inside SharePoint would come from. I'll need to do some research on the error you are getting.  I haven't seen that before. My suspicion is that you are creating this from a template that is old and hasn't been updated. Can you create a regular flow and add the Start and Wait for an Approval action?  If you can then its a problem with the template, not with the connector.

    @Pstork1 maybe a stupid question - does this approval connector is accross whole organization, i.e. if I have an approval connector set up for another sharepoint in my organization and want to setup a test flow in another sharepoint (in site pages) in the same organization and it should teoretically work, right?

    I am getting a following error message: Creating a Flow from the requested template requires parameter 'sharepoint.approvalTitle' to be specified. Do you have any idea how I can fix that?

    I verified this with Microsoft.  It was indeed a regression bug.  Users never have more than one Approval connector.  The problem is that if the Approval connector didn't already exist it wouldn't be automatically created, nor prompt the user to create one.  This was a bug introduced by some changes on how connections were instantiated.  So it wasn't a difference between tenants, but if a user had ever used an Approval flow then it would work.  If the user was new to approvals then it wouldn't.  As has been stated this should now be fixed.

    For me, one is less than a month old, and the other I created today.

    Tested with a new flow or an existing approval flow?

    I just tested it on one other client I implemented this workflow for. It is working fine there.
