Make the number of approval decisions required a configurable setting on the approval process

Sometimes, we will want a task to have to be approved by any 2 individuals out of a larger group. For example, there are 5 people who can potentially approve a task, and we consider the task to be approved after any 2 of those people (doesn't matter who) have approved.


Right now, it seems to be "all or nothing". You can check the box for "Only one approval decision required", or you can uncheck it and then everyone needs to approve. Instead of having this checkbox, it would be great if we could specify the number of decisions required.


It would be even better if you could also set this within each approver group. For example, a task needs to be approved by both Team A and by Team B. Team A requires 2 of its people to approve and Team B requires only 1 of it's people to approve. The advantage of this that, when new people join a team, you can just add them to the team, versus adding them as an individual approver on a bunch of tasks.
