how can we filter the users in the system approver field created by jira service desk know that in this field does not have a user filtering configuration like the user fields created by ourselves

Hi, @dari hanane !

Look through the documentation about approvals.

Supported functions:

• approved()
• approver()
• myApproval()
• myPending()
• pending()
• pendingBy()

For example, 

• Find requests that require or required approval by John Smith:
  approval = approver(jsmith)

• Find requests that require approval by John Smith:
  approval = pendingBy(jsmith)

• Find requests that require approval by the current user:
  approval = myPending()

• Find all requests that require approval:
  approval = pending()

Hi @Alexander Bondarev ,

Thanks for your replay but my problem is when i Configured Jira Service Desk approvals, i added the field approvals created by jira service desk, know i want to restrict user in this custom field for exemple the reporter of issue can nor add him self as approval in custom fields approval, Is there possible?

Best regrets,
