Creating An Ad Hoc, Single Use, Approval Process

Hello,

 

I would like to trigger the creation of a single-use approval process upon the submission of an issue. The details of said issue will communicate with a datastore which will help drive who is assigned to a certain step in the approval process.

 

How is this possible in Fusion?

 

Thank you

Hello @eric_d_miller 
It's possible, you'll have to manually stitch together the JSON.

    Here is my JSON, but I get this error when trying to run the scenario:

     

    [403] Please specify a user, job role, team, or wildcard.

     

    { "approvalProcess": { "ID": null, "approvalObjCode": "OPTASK", "name": "APPROVAL CREATION TEST", "isActive": true, "isPrivate": true, "approvalPaths": [ { "ID": "1", "targetStatus": "AWF", "shouldCreateIssue": false, "rejectedStatus": "REJ", "objCode": "ARVPTH", "approvalSteps": [ { "ID": "1", "approvalType": "OM", "sequenceNumber": 0, "objCode": "ARVSTP", "stepApprovers": [ { "objCode": "SPAPVR", "wildCard": "{{249.`Planning Director ID`}}", "ID": "{{249.`Planning Director ID`}}", "approvalStepID": "1" }, { "objCode": "SPAPVR", "wildCard": "{{250.`Planning Manager ID`}}R", "ID": "{{250.`Planning Manager ID`}}", "approvalStepID": "1" }, { "objCode": "SPAPVR", "wildCard": "{{251.`Planner ID`}}", "ID": "{{251.`Planner ID`}}", "approvalStepID": "1" } ], "name": "Marketing Support Approval" }, { "ID": "2", "approvalType": "OM", "sequenceNumber": 1, "objCode": "ARVSTP", "stepApprovers": [ { "objCode": "SPAPVR", "user": { "ID": "656dca8600140bb21cd4ad772365e372", "name": "Test Worker 2", "objCode": "USER", "avatarDate": null }, "userID": "656dca8600140bb21cd4ad772365e372", "ID": "656dca8600140bb21cd4ad772365e372", "approvalStepID": "2" } ], "name": "Fusion Check" } ] } ], "objCode": "OPTASK", "description": "", "group": null } }

     Can you help spruce up my JSON?
