Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

I am working on the creation of a workflow that is based on Start and Wait for an approval. The approvers have 4 approval codes... Code-A (Approved). Code-B (Approved with comments), Code-C (Revise & Resubmit) and Code-D (Not rerquired).

During the approval prompt the approvers start the comments with the approval code i,e, Code-A or Code-B...

Question is how do I configure the condition step for various scenarios as there are multiple approvers and they all could have different approval codes. for example A + A + A = A or A+A+B = B or A+ B + C = C.

Code A is pretty staright forward so that is not a problem but Code B can either be a Code A or Code B in order for it to be Code B.

Will it be Condition and then select 'And' and then add two rows with Comments from Response as Code A and the other row as Code B and then tick the check marks?

I am not exactly sure I understand what you are asking. In the screen shot you attached, is the "For each 2" action configured from the data of the Responses? It would seem that it is based on the condition you have within this action. Therefore, when your condition evaluates through the responses, it will iterate once for each of your approvers. If you have four approvers, it will iterate through the apply to each four times.

Since you cannot require comments, your condition, it is going to fail if someone does not provide a comment. You would want to put the Response Comments inside of a coalesce expression to handle this.

In addition, since the apply to each works on each response separately, the condition would never evaluate to true since one response could not begin with both Code-A and Code-B. It could only begin with one or the other. Thus, you would want the Outcome in AND, and have the two Response Comments conditions within an OR condition.

In other words, (Outcome does not contain "Reject") AND (Response Comments starts with "Code-A" OR Response Comments starts with "Code=B").
