Team Managed Approvers not linked to Approvers field

[Kurtis]

I'm currently working on a Team managed project that uses a form with conditional fields to add approvers under certain circumstances. 

I have the form field linked to "Approvers" so anyone selected in the form field should be added as an approver.

This isn't adding the users to the "Approvals" section. I tried copying the "Approvers" to "Approvals" and I can't get the users to add. 

I tried a bunch of different "Additional fields" JSON with no success. 

•  { "fields": { "customfield_10035": "{{#issue.customfield_10003}}{{accountId}}{{^last}},{{/last}}{{/issue.customfield_10003}}" } }
• { "fields": { "customfield_10035": { "id": "792", "name": "Urgency Approval", "finalDecision": "pending", "canAnswerApproval": false, "approvers": [ { "accountId": "{{issue.customfield_10003.accountId}}" } ] } } }
• { "fields": { "customfield_10035": "{{#issue.customfield_10003}}{{accountId}},{{/issue.customfield_10003}}" } }

I looked up the custom fields via XML and I see these:

Hi @Kurtis 

It might this KB article will help you: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-service-management-cloud/docs/add-an-approval-to-a-request-type-in-team-managed-projects/ 

As I think the normal approver and approval are only used by Company managed project

And you are probably running in to the following limitations on team managed project in relation to automation; https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/limitations-in-team-managed-projects-for-automation-rules/

Yea.... I think it's those limitations. 

Specifically: 

• Custom fields: All People custom fields in team-managed projects currently aren’t supported by Jira Cloud automation. This means that your automation rules won’t be able to access values or set values in any People fields.

That's a bummer. 

Thank you for the links!
