On the same transition, I would like to have 4 approvals in the sequential order and 3 approvals not in sequential order.
For example:
I have 5 approvals: Approval 1, Approval 2, Approval 3. Seq Approval 1, Seq Approval 2, Seq Approval 3, Seq Approval 4.
Approval 1, Approval 2, Approval 3 can be approved in any order.
Seq Approval 1, Seq Approval 2, Seq Approval 3, Seq Approval 4 have to be approved in a sequential order.
In addition, Seq Approval 3 have to be approved only after that Seq Approval 1, Seq Approval 2 and Seq Approval 3 have approved.
