Hi, can anybody help me understand how I solve this error message please? Thanks in advance.
Hi,
The different Approvals must have a unique status value for the different stages.
If you click on the hamburger menu (three dots) and select advanced options, you can change the values.
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic day!

Hi Andree, thank you for your reply, although I'm not sure I understand, sorry. I have no alternative choices that i can make. can you assist further please? please see screenshot.

Yes, Three people are asked to first approve a project based on one condition. once approved that approval feeds back into one person for secondary approval. see screenshot.
THANK YOU again

How do you create the multiple unique values for the second level like you have listed above. I am running into the same situation as the previous user. Any help in direction you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

I hope that helps!
Have a fantastic week!
