Re: Approval Server Auto Approval issue
Hi, Approval process starts working when a filter which triggers the approval process is executed. So you can check in filter logs to find out whether intended approval process is getting triggered or not. In filter logs you can narrow down the search to check only application command as they are responsible for triggering an approval process. -- Regards, Yogini Vyom Labs Pvt. Ltd.

Re: Approval Server Auto Approval issue
Intent is to override the OOTB behavior that a SR approval would go through and replace it with the rule based process that you have configured Right? To achieve the above, ensure that you have set all approval processes that pivot around SRM form to inactive. In ar.cfg check if the Update-Config parameter needs to be tweaked such that approval server can reload the process cache [such that inactive processes really are accounted for].
