Cannot use max() with list of Objects

Question

Hi,

I'm getting a list of how many approvals are required for a list of apps using the Lookup Object command and logging the smart value with {{lookupObjects.Approvals Required}}

0, 2, 1

If I check the size with {{lookupObjects.Approvals Required.size}} I get "3" returned. But if I do {{lookupObjects.Approvals Required.max}} nothing is returned, I would expect "2" to be returned here.

I also tried {{lookupObjects.Approvals Required.asNumber.max}} in case it was being treated as text.

Is there anything specific with the list and Objects that's preventing me from getting the max?

Thanks

Thanks Kesab. I was not able to find anything in the link about using the `max()` function, however the link did point me in the direction to solve something else I had (using the `flatten()` command).

I want to get the number of approvers to transition the issue to different statuses, each having a hardcoded number of approvers, since the number of approvers can't be set by variable.
