A request is to be approved but was declined earlier , the new approver is visible in in the "Declined" field in the portal, but the approver has not declined or approved this request yet
@Timon Angenent welcome tot he Atlassian community
If the approval step has already taken place like you explained and you add additional approvers they will populate the approvers field on the issue. Thus they show up in the approvers field regardless of if it was approved or denied.
