Is it possible to use a static group on an approval WF? I want to assign on a custom record the static group and check if all the group members approved the record, then move it to approved

To do this I would make a custom record that is a child record of the custom record you want to approve The child record would represent each approval that needs to take place So if 5 people need to approve then you would use the create record action in your WF to create 5 approval records Then each person could approve independently. Then when all 5 are marked approved it would transition the main record to approved

Oh thats a nice way of doing it, I was thinking also if it wasnt possible by standard functionality, to create a custom field with each of the approvers member group, so everytime an apporover on the list approved the record, it would be set on the field. But that sounds like complete garbage compared to your way of doing this hahaha! thanks!

No problem. I have done what you suggested before as well but it definitely can get cluttered. And if the group grows that’s just more fields. Both work well. But I’m glad you liked my idea. Best of luck!
