I am trying to use a Do Until to check for mandatory comments when rejecting. I'm using first to respond. I've referenced the solution below but it's not working. I don't know if I need to parse for the approver comments in the second Start An Approval. I've tried several different methods to capture the comments in the second Start An Approval with no luck. The first Start An Approval is working fine. It recognizes there are no comments. My issue is when I enter comments in the Start An Approval using the Do Until. It doesn't recognize that I have entered comments. I have to wait until the count limit is reached. I hope this all makes sense. Thanks.

Hi @Ungere
If using Start and wait for an approval action and using the first to respond option
I just tried this out
Logic needs to change a bit
in your do until using this expression and compare it to false

Hi @Ungere
So this technique first checks to see if the first approval action has comments
If it does not then it does a do until and keeps checking for the second approver comments and keeps repeating until it is not empty
so yes, in the do until you have to check the second approval action comments response

Hi @Ungere
Yes
@not(empty(body('Start_an_approval_2')?['comments']))
The above expression checks to see if the user entered comments or not during the approval process
Note: this is related to the second approval action which is called "Start an approval 2"

It worked!
Thanks Reza !!!!
When I cancel the request, the approval without a comment still goes into a loop, any solution for that?
