Approval Mappings, in order to
Require the approvals, only if the condition returns true
Let transition the issue if the condition returns true depending by the number of approbations or rejections

In order to evaluate a Jql properly, the used user must have Browsing permission on the concerned project.
You are able to setup a Superuser to use on any Conditional rule configuration by navigating on Manage apps → Herzum Approval → Global Configuration → Approval Superusers → Conditional Rule Superuser:

Super User, the Conditional Rule is evaluated via the credential of the user selected on the Global Configuration → Approval Superusers → Conditional Rule Superuser

Editing a Conditional Rule
You are able to update an existing Conditional Rule.
Deleting a Conditional Rule
When deleting a Conditional Rule, the application asks to confirm:
Invalid Conditional Rule
Conditional Rule validity is based on the following variables:
Validity of the User used to evaluate the conditional rule
Validity of the Conditional Rule JQL.
When a conditional rule is invalid the Approvals panel on the issue shows the following message:
You don't have any approval mapping to this issue type in this status
In order to understand the reason why a conditional rule is invalid or for provisioning its result for a specific issue, you are able to Run test.
