Flow approval condition doesn't seem to work.

[Anonymous]

Hi

I am trying to create a simple SharePoint "when a new file is created" approval flow.

But when trying to approve the file the metadata in SharePoint says "Rejected" and when I Reject  the file it still says "Rejected"

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

In your condition change it to Outcome is equal to Approve.

I did try "outcome"

I still have the same result.  But if i look at the "run" i see "ActionBranchingConditionNotSatisfied. The execution of template action 'Set_content_approval_status:_Approved' skipped: the branching condition for this action is not satisfied." and I have no idea what that means... I am still a newb

Hey @Anonymous 

Can you please share a screenshot of the flow? In the conditon part specially? Can you confirm that you are using the Outcome attribute and comparing it with the 'Approve' value here? 

Hope this Helps!

Thank You so much for this. I've been fighting with this darn approval for a month.

Any solution to this. I too have had issues with the condition. Both using Approve and outcome.

Hello,

I changed "Responses" to "Outcome" and it worked. Haven't had an issue since.
