Get approvals via automation when more then one

[Patricia Francezi_iDev_]

In some cases we might have more then one approval round in a single issue for the same status - i.e customer didnt approve the first window to run a change, but approves the second provided.

My use case is that we need to get the last and / or approved final decision on the issue, then copy this information to a linked issue - this is working with the first one with this smartvalue.

Then comment the linked issue as follows

{{#triggerIssue.Approvals}}
{{#approvers}}
Name: {{approver.displayName}} 
Action: {{approverDecision}} \\
{{/}}
{{/}}

What happened was the exact scenario from above, and automation didn't take the second approval decision. 

How can I tune the advanced comparison to get the approved decision on this one? 

Any help is appreciated.

Hi @Patricia Francezi_iDev_,

Approvals is a list type. If you always want to get the last approval then you should refer to it by:

{{triggerIssue.Approvals.last}}

This will give you the last approval in the list.

Cheers,

Simeon.
