Autoapprove workflow by if condition

[Theis Joergensen]

Hi Community, 

I have a workflow used for change requests, where an approval step is set when transitioning to Pending approval status - people from the jira field "approvers" are automatically notified and can approve or decline. 

I would like to add a condition checking the field value "downtime"

If yes = require approval before transitioning 

If no = auto approve. 

I can probably do this by creating an automation rule, but i an wondering if it's possible to manage it in the workflow by using triggers or conditions.

Anyone who  have experience with this?

Hi @Theis Joergensen 

This is not possible with triggers or conditions.

Here automation is required, that will check status changed to Pending Approval and the field value of the field Downtime.

If this complies then auto approve
