    the content approval functionality must always follow a predefined flow of statuses - Draft -> Pending -> Approved/Rejected (as I wrote in an article: https://tomriha.com/how-to-set-content-approval-status-with-power-automate/). If you update the file properties it'll go back to Draft, meaning you must set the content multiple times to get to the final status.
