I’ve followed the example in “RT Essentials” on configuring a
multi-stage approval. It worked beautifully in v3.6.3. It fails to work
after I’ve upgraded RT to 3.6.7.
In 3.6.3, the second approver will only receive an email upon the first
approval resolution of the approving ticket.
In 3.6.7, both the approvers will receive emails at the same time.
Can somebody enlighten me on how to make 3.6.7 behaviour revert to those
in 3.6.3? This is important to what I’m about to do for the organization.
Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks.

With the information you’ve given us so far, it’s fairly hard to
debug. RT 3.6.3 was…quite a long time ago and we’ve fixed a fair
number of bugs. It may well be the case that one of those fixes has
unintended consequences. If you can share your workflow
configuration with the list, someone might be able to spot something.

Hi Jesse,
Thanks for answering my mail.
Here’s my workflow setup. The idea here is to use the multi-stage approvals
for the request which requires the manager approval before redirecting it to
the director for approval.
Templates:
===Create-Ticket: manager-endorsement
Depended-On-By: TOP
Queue: ___Approvals
Type: approval
Owner: {
return $Tickets{‘TOP’}->FirstCustomFieldValue(‘Approving
Requester/Manager Id’);
}
Content: Manager endorsement is needed for this request.
Please see the parent ticket for details.
ENDOFCONTENT
===Create-Ticket: director-endorsement
Depends-On: manager-endorsement
Depended-On-By: TOP
Queue: ___Approvals
Type: approval
Owner: ccelhf
Content: Director endorsement is needed for this request.

Hi Jesse,
Thanks for answering my mail.
Here’s my workflow setup. The idea here is to use the multi-stage
approvals for the request which requires the manager approval before
redirecting it to the director for approval.
That basically looks right. Which scrips fire when the ticket is
created? When does the “notify the director” scrip fire?
Dear Jesse,
The setup only uses a single script and template. The setup works out of the
box as described in “RT Essentials”. In the v3.6.3, the email to the
director won’t fire off until the manager approves his ticket. This was
achieved using the “Depends-On” directive in the director’s template. In
3.6.7, both manager and director will get the emails as soon as the
approval tickets are created. The director won’t be able to resolve
his ticket though if the manager hasn’t approve his. Any idea?On Mon, Jul 28, 2008 at 9:19 PM, Jesse Vincent jesse@bestpractical.com wrote:

None. it sounds like it should work.
