Column/automation issue
Why is this showing up? I don't want different columns, I want one column. Is that possible?

Click the "hamburger" (3 vertical dots) to access "Advanced options".
I believe you need a "Submitted" value in addition based on what is asked for in the Advanced Options. Here's what that looks like:

@Ray Lindstrom It isn't allowing me to use one column for multiple people's approval

You would have to have just one automation that runs for approvals for the same column. The automation should be getting the name of the recipient from a column in the row that needs approval. See under "Request an approval" there is the option for who to send to; I chose "Send to contacts in a cell" and selected the column name for who to send to. I called that column "Approver". I used a Contact List type column.
If you hard-code an automation to be sent to a specific individual, then yes you would need a different column for each approval automation you setup.
Or if you need multiple approvals for the same row, then you would need multiple columns to capture those approvals.
