Hi,
I have a request where a user that rejects an approval email needs to enter a comment.
To my knowledge it is currently possible to leave the comment blank.
Is there a way to enforce users entering something if they reject an approval?
Best regards,
Ludwig

Hi @lreinhard7,
Do you want to enforce users entering comments if they reject an approval email?
I afraid that there is no way to enforce users entering comments within Approval email sent via Microsoft Flow directly, if you would like this feature to be added in Microsoft Flow, please submit an idea to Flow Ideas Forum:
https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Flow-Ideas/idb-p/FlowIdeas
In addition, you could consider take a try to create a flow that if the approvers don't enter comments when they reject the approval, same approval email (in a loop action, until the comments are not empty) would be sent to them again. Please take a try with the following workaround as an alternative way:
@and(equals(body('Start_an_approval')?['response'], 'Reject'),empty(body('Start_an_approval')?['comments']))
@not(empty(body('Start_an_approval_2')?['comments']))
Within "Do Until" action, add a "Send an email" action. Then add a "Start an approval 2" action, specify Assigned to value.

The flow works successfully as below:
Best regards,
Kris

Hello Kris,
Many thanks for your feedback.
This is a great workaround and I believe it will do the job for me.
