Hi @Jelani B. 

Can you provide screenshots on what you are referencing to in your instance?

The link you shared contains information on that users instance where they made a custom field called approval.

So don't focus on that field name in that community article.

What user or group field is used in your approval in the workflow?

Hi @Jelani B. ,

Welcome to Atlassian community.

I suggest you to follow the instructions in this tutorial: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-service-management-cloud/docs/set-up-approvals/ 

If you have already sett an approval step in the workflow, you can add the approvers field in the screens 

I hope it helps

Hi Matteo,

Thank you for your response. I am still having trouble trying to configure this group correctly...

I found a link to what might help me, but I am having a problem on where to find "Configure Custom Fields : Approval" 

 

Here is the link I am referencing...
