Approval Condition Settings
The Approval Conditions are Herzum Approval built-in Conditions allowing to avoid that an issue transitions in a specific destination workflow status until the expected approbations or rejections are meet.
This option allows you to disable/enable the functionality.
This setting expects the values ON or OFF.
By default this option is ON. It causes that the app automatically add and delete the Approval Conditions on any transition of each Workflow (Published and Draft) associated to the Projects, Issue Types having an Approval Mapping configuration, when the following events occur:
uploading the app
uninstalling or installing the app
