Approval Workflow - Result of Condition is wrong

Hello together,

I would like to build a multi-level approval workflow. But I've some issues with it.

 

The Result of the Approval is not correctly evaluated by the condition. The result is 'Approve'. The condition asks for 'Outcome' is equal to 'Approve'. Result of the condition is 'false'. Why?

 

I would assume that if 'Approved' is selected, the workflow continues to the next approval.

    Meanwhile I found out the solution myself. It seems that Power Automate isn't able to send an Mail in every condition step. So I put an condition on the end whick is looking on an index. Is the multipal approval rejected by an approver, the index is set on rejected. In fact this is even more clean

    Hi!

    That would be the Option Approve / Reject - First to respond.

     

    The value is 'Approved' which is checked in the conditionsaction:

    Here you can see the result is set to 'false'. I just found out this might be triggered by the second approval:

    Error is:

     

    ActionBranchingConditionNotSatisfied. The execution of template action 'Zweiter_Genehmiger' skipped: the branching condition for this action is not satisfied

     

    ActionConditionFailed. The execution of template action 'Bedingung_2' is skipped: the 'runAfter' condition for action 'Zweiter_Genehmiger' is not satisfied. Expected status values 'Succeeded' and actual value 'Skipped'
