Advanced Workflow Multiple Approvals

William Reed asked on June 13, 2018 18:27

I am setting up a workflow in the advanced mode and I have after edit a multichoice that is assigned to another role, when that role goes to approve they have the choice of sending it to legal or to another choice of compliance....IS there a way I can do both or one or the other? I can do where each department once they approve their side send it back to the multi choice but that role will not know who sent it back and when they go to approve they will still see both departments there. Do you think I can do something, if there is no way to set multiple approvers (in one button push) but to set a variable that when it goes to legal the variable is set and when it ocmes back to the multiselect I can hide legal option on approval and only show compliance send to?

Hi,
I am afraid but branching the workflow in this way is not possible. In this case the way has to be flat - so it will go to dept.1 for approval and then to dept.2

@Juraj there is no way even in custom development to achieve this? I want to be able to say send to two roles at the same time for approval and then individually they approve. If I do it currently the way the workflow works whoever logs in first will be able to approve but we want to have both approve first before going to someone to publish....not possible?

Hi,
Well, if you will develop and implement fully custom workflow then yes - you will need to create the logic for this. So, when the page is submitted for approval to two different steps (separate branches) and in branch A it will be pushed further but in branch B it will be rejected - how would you handle this use case? The page would be in an inconsistent state. This would require fully custom logic.
