How can I have only one approver required in an approval workflow?

Question

I am having trouble with approval workflows in which I'm using Jira Cloud on a team managed project.

I currently have the workflow set up as follows:

* When a task is transitioned to DONE, execute an approval workflow
* Select preset approvers: name 1, name 2, name 3, name 4
* Select or name the approver field: Approval
* Approved: Done -> Done
* Declined: Done -> In Progress

It appears as my workflow is set up, it requires all four approvers to approve a task. I'd like the workflow set up that one of the individuals of the 4 names are required to approve a task.

Does anyone have advise as to how I could do this? It does not appear that I have an option to select the number of approvers required.

Note: For privacy, I removed the 4 individuals names in the screenshot below.

Hi @Brett Andrews

This is not an option on using approval in a non JSM project.

Sorry for the very late reply. @Marc -Devoteam- , I'm not sure if I'm missing anything but when I click on the status (Done) and select the approval field, this is not showing up. Some additional screenshots below:

Select the '+' button under Approval

The following Approval Workflow Opens

Fill out the boxes as appropriate.

Note: There are names I'd include in the field but to preserve their identity I have removed them.

I can't find any section where to select the maximum number of approvers.

Hi @Brett Andrews

On the status where the approval is required, when setting the approval field there should be an option to choose all approvals required or set a number of required approvals
