We are trying to simplify the ability to get approval from 2 different groups as part of a workflow. I want them to be defined via AD groups so that administration is easier. Is this possible in JWM?
Hi @Eben Chaffee,
Welcome to Atlassian Community!
Currently that is not possible, because the approval in JWM can only have either a preset list of users that can approve, or a user pick list field.
Hi Eben - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!
One option is to install a connector app from the Marketplace for AD to Jira. Then create a custom field of user picker type to populate with the Supervisor/Manager from AD. Then you can use an automation rule to copy the value from the custom field into the Approvers field at the appropriate time.
Hi @Eben Chaffee ,
Unfortunately our Approvals feature does not support direct usage of Groups or Active Directory to pre-select a set of approvers.
It's an interesting idea, though, and we'll consider this feedback as we plan our roadmap.
Regards,
Jason
