Is it possible to build up more complex approval process in current version of JWM Premium?
It seems like approvals in current JWM lacks some critical functionality if you want to build more complex approval rules and scenarions. For example: i did not find out how to create custom user picker field in task and automaticaly assign approvers from this field in workflow. Also i can't use automation scenarios, like assign certain approvers if fieldA=something and so on.
It feels like approve process completely separated from task fields and can not be used in more flexible scenarios. All you can do for now is enable approve step and manually add approvers in it, which is not optimal.
For anyone with same issue, i contacted support and answer is that it's designed this way ATM, no workaround. Very limited use case scenarios, no automation rules, no use in task screen.
I created custom user picker field for my task:
Users should be able to populate this field on task creation with person(s) who need to approve task after creation.
Workflow looks like this:
I'm trying to implement approval step on "To do" status and getting this error:
JWM don't allow me to use my custom user picker field that i created for approval proccess.
It looks like it requires to use it own field, which i should create on approval step. But i can't find this field anywhere to add it to task fields.

Hi Vasiliy,
You should be able to do the items you describe with Automation Rules. If you will post your rule here and what is not working, we can try to help.

It looks like it thinks you are trying to create that field instead of just use that field. If you clear out the value and the click the dropdown and then start to type a few of the letters in the field, does the field come up so that you can select it?

No, field doesn't comes up. I assume that it wants me to create new field for approvals and doesn't allow to use field that already exist in task configuration (it says already exists when i'm typing exact name)
Now i just wondering is it designed that way, or i am doing it wrong somehow. Could someone confirm that it should work as i described above or not?
If not, i, unfortunately can't, use JWM Premium product for my work processes because of limited approval functionality.

Is this a Team-managed project? If so, have you tried it with a Company-managed project?
Also, I would submit a support ticket to Atlassian for their feedback on why the field is not showing up.

It is team-managed project. Approvals not supported in company owned projects right now.
