At this point, I have some several issues marking a workflow status as an approval step. 
Do you have the same problem?
Hi @Gerrit Wahlers ,
You can only to so when association the workflow to an active project.
Approval steps are not usable to set on inactive workflows.
You must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.
We can set the option on workflows whose are already in use. But not on inactive ones.
