we are just able to trace an approval request on the column. there would be a list of approval requests like update requests. Also, would be better to manage those approval requests like cancellation, trigger from start again (we can use sequential approval requests in one automation) etc.
I regularly have approvers tell me they didn't receive an approval request, but have received others. Being able to see that the approval request sent, and what the status is (pending/complete) like with update requests would be very helpful. Bonus points for allowing users to resend or cancel the request from the original.
