Then, you can hide or disable the native Next Approver field and use a workflow action to copy the custom Next Approver value into the native Next Approver field. Here is the step-by-step process: 1. Create a new custom field called "next approver" and add filtering to this field to exclude the current user. This can be done by setting the filter condition to "is NOT current user". 2. Hide or disable the native Next Approver field. This can be done in the field settings. 3. Use a workflow action to copy the custom Next Approver value into the native Next Approver field. This can be done by creating a new action in your workflow that sets the value of the native Next Approver field to the value of the custom Next Approver field. Alternatively, you can use a Return User Error action on Before Field Edit, that says "You cannot select yourself as the next approver". When the user selects themselves in the next approver field. Then also do another Return user Error action on Before Submit with the same conditions. This will provide a pop-up error when they select themselves and also prevent the record from saving if they still try to save it with themselves as the next approver. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
