How can I change approvers

Aleksandr Derugo

Hi, I have created a new project and have run into a problem. I'm using approvals with approvers from assets and I can't change them when I need to.
For example, I have an Assets cf field Department that specifies the approvers.
Dep1 - User1 Dep2 - User2

If I set cf Department = Dep1, the system correctly sets User1 as the approver. But if I change the Department to Dep2, it still sets User1 as the approver.
Is there a way to change or delete approvers so that it is possible to change approvers if necessary?

Hi Aleksandr,

I would create an automation rule based on a Field Value Changed trigger. Then select the department. Then do a Condition with IF/ELSE and under each, set the Approvers field with the appropriate people.

@John Funk Thanks for the suggestion, but there are so many departments :) In general, I'd like to deal specifically with the use of approvals with approvers from Assets.
If it turns out that this is not possible, I can always write a script that automatically fills the cf Approvers :)

Can you describe that relationship with Assets a little more? What separates those tickets from other tickets? How does that affect the number of Departments involved or the approvers?

Hi @Aleksandr Derugo ,
Seems the update for appovers is performing on a single initial changes; you have to update the approval with the department fields changes as well.
Can you share the config at moment?

I've tried transfer issue to other status(Error) and change department there. But when I request approval again approver doesn't change :(1.png2.png
