Hi,

I've an approval flow starting on "When an item or file is modified" trigger.

The library setting are:

"Require content approval for submitted item" set to yes and

"Create a version each time you edit a file in the library" set to "Create major and minor (draft) version"

In my library I've added a colums "Approved By" that I would like to set with the name of approval and another one setting the date of approval.

Without the settin of these colums the flow works properly. The approval status changes accordnilngy the response of the approver.

Adding the setting of the two columns the Approval Status is set to "Draft". This probably due to the change the flow make to the Approved by and to Approval Date colums.

I've also tried to move the columns update step before to check the response from the approval but the result doesn't change. The Approval status remains "Draft".

Below the screen shot of my flow. Sorry, it is in Italian:
