Overview

The add-on provides, either for Approval Mapping and Define Approval, the flexibility to set the MRA parameter

This parameter allows to transition the issue also if not all the configured Approval requests have been approved and also if some of them have been rejected.

By default, the MRA parameter (Minimum requested approvals) is set to All so that the transition is not allowed until all configured approvals have approved.

Configure the Minimun Requested Approvals (MRA) by following the steps illustrated below.
