It would be nice to have an option allowing to receive distinct approvals from all members of a group.

How to implement the customer scenario

Step 1 - Create the User picker custom field (multiple users) that will be filled with the members of the group

If you want to use an existing custom field, go to the next step.

You can review instruction to create a custom field on the related Atlassian documentation.

You do not need to add this custom field to any Screen and you do not need to specify any Context.

Step 2 - Create the Approval configuration to identify approvers 

You can update an existing Approval Single Property or create a new one.

  1. Navigate Add-ons → HERZUM APPROVAL →Approvals.
  2. Click the Add Approval button.
  3. Fill the Add Approval Configuration form

  4. Fill the User Picker Field All by selecting the User Picker custom field

  5. Click
  6. Specify the expression to populate the custom field
  7. You are able test the expression on an issue in order to check its correctness
  8. Save the Expression
  9. Save the Approval configuration

You can update an existing Approval Single Property by specifying the expression to populate the user picker custom field.

  1. Click
  2. Specify the expression to populate the custom field
  3. Save the Expression
  4. Save the Approval configuration

(warning) You can expect that this updated setting is active on any issue that have not already moved in the status requiring this approval.

Case of issue that are already waiting this approval, the updated setting becomes active on loading the issue or running an Approval Re-indexing.

Step 3 - Create the Approval Mapping configuration 

You can update an existing Approval Mapping or create a new one.

How it works

When the issue moves in the Status configured to request the Approvals, the user picker custom field is filled with the Users in the Group.

It causes that, for each user in the picker field, a distinct approval shows up in the Approvals panel.
