Can I setup Approvals in Jira Cloud?

Our users asked if we can build a formal approval process in Jira cloud. I read that this is only available with Jira Service management not in Jira cloud can someone confrm?

Hi @juan.aguilar,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

It all depends on what type of project you are using. Approvals are only available in Jira Work Management projects if they are team-managed. But there is a workaround by using automation, custom fields and circular transitions. Have a look at this article that I wrote about approval process without using the workflow process.
