Workflow Activity Definition: Approval Coordinator This setting controls whether Manual Approvals can restart after an update in an executing Approval Coordinator; set it to true to allow this, or false to prevent it. The default is false, and the restart is also skipped for approval-state determination events. /wf_activity_definition.do?sys_id=283e8bb80a2581021d036a052ffc3433
Workflow Activity Definition: Manual Approvals The Manual Approvals activity checks this setting on update; when set to true, it requests approvals again, potentially restarting approval collection, and when false it does not. The default is false, so admins must enable it to have updates trigger new approval requests. /wf_activity_definition.do?sys_id=533e39330a6a803f54a9619525b0a7e7
