In the case of a custom field, you can use a group or multi-group select field.

Action types

Approval / Consent action

One or more members of the selected Jira group can vote to approve or reject. When the step is activated, then all group members will receive a notification with a ‘call for action’. On page view, the user will see accept and reject button. The decision cannot be changed. The only way to undo the decision is to ‘reset’ the ongoing approval path and start a new one. Every Jira page participant can start or reset the approval process.

Notification action

All group members will be notified about current progress. They might be interested in knowing progress or result, but those people have no involvement in decision making. Possible use cases:

  1. Used at the beginning of the approval process to notify team members about the new project proposal.

  2. Used as the last step in the approval process to notify the Jira administrators about needed changes in the Jira structure.

When checked the group will be skipped from the approval path without displaying the message about an empty group.

Issue watchers notification

This functionality empowers to manage the update notifications for approval paths sent to issue watchers. It provides the ability to prevent the reception of unnecessary notifications.

Create step condition

This feature allows the inclusion of a specific step in the approval process if it aligns with a condition defined in a https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/jira-expressions/. Once selected, the step will only be added to the approval workflow solely when the condition is fulfilled. Should the condition not be met or encounter an error, the step will not be part of the approval process. Find more regarding conditions in our documentation.
