Approval Assignment rule auto approval

Hey,

Thanks for the replies and suggestions. Before making any major redesigns I would like to understand if “no approval” can be achieved with Approval Assignment rule alone, as we put lot of work getting it done.

The example highlights my issue. If I want no approvals whatsoever, can I return something from Approval Assignment rule that would cause no approvals generated?
I’ve tried returning newApprovals as empty list, null, with approval that has been completed, and all lead to broken access request.

Also, just information if this functionality is unachievable would be good, and we could then rethink the approach. I would just imagine that this rule must support this scenario somehow
