Workflow Activity Definition: Approval - Group
When a group approval changes from Requested, this setting controls whether its state is also updated to match the new approval outcome, and—except for “not requested”—whether it is closed and made inactive. The code defaults the setting to true, so matching is enabled unless an admin sets it otherwise.
