Flexibility with amount of approvers
As of now, there is limited flexibility when it comes to how many people are required to approve a step in a workflow (see below). What happens if the group of approvers increases or decreases frequently? Say I have a group of 8 people and I need at least 5 (50% + 1) of them to approve a step. But, one day your boss decides that 4 more people from management need to be part of the decision process. So, the group is now 12. However, that means that YOU are required to go update the approval step to reflect 7 people now that need to approve (50% + 1), but he neglected to mention that to you. I do not believe there is currently a proper fix for this, so the question is:
Who has dealt with this and what is the cleanest, most effective & concise way someone has remedied this problem?
The more I've thought about this, the more paths I go down that make this seem like it could wind up quite messy in the end. Sure, automation rules could be leveraged, and custom fields could be created to count approvers and such, but I'd appreciate the community's thoughts on the matter. Hopefully, I've explained my goal well enough, but let me know what details I may have left out, thx!
