Hi All,
 
May I know is there any possible for this section Requested by, not showing my name, instead of the requester name? 
Under the approval option, I had already placed requestor email under the requester field, but doesn't seems to be related to this.

    Start and wait for approval action uses the connection reference to send the approvals as it is Power Automate action it will not use any field value, it will always use the name of the user with which the flow is created and runs which is the connection reference you created at the time of using approval action.
