Multiple Approvals - How to capture all their responses and comments

I have set up a Multiple Approval flow and have continously ran into problems such as nesting and get the approval responses and comments. I have fixed the nesting problem by using a switch action i am now trying to solve the capturing all responses/comments.

I have initialized a variable and then appended that to a string variable. This has allowed me to get the approval response and comments of the first approval action. I want to have this process 4 times but I am not sure how to go about it. Do I create multiple initialize and append to string variable actions? e.g. The first approval action i get the response and comments and i add it to the next approval action so the second stage of approvers can see what the first stage of approvers commented.

See images for reference.

Hello @Aazza ,

you can append all the comments in the same variable. You can even include the descriptions, just append in the single variable everything you'd like to keep and use.

Hi Tom, thank you for the confirmation.

What if i wanted to use the variable to update a rows in excel e.g. Approval 1 comments in Approval 1 column on excel and Approval 2 comments in Approval 2 comments column in excel etc?

Hello @Aazza ,

if it's different columns then I'd update each of them right after the approval step is finished. Using a variable for that would mean that you'd have to create an object in the variable and that would make the whole solution much more complicated.
