Skip 2nd level approver if 1st level approver is same

In a NERM workflow, we have 2 level of approvers. There is a business requirement that if 1st and 2nd level approver are same then 2nd level of approver should skip.

I tried to achieve this functionality by adding the condition component but realized that apart from the data field attribute, we cannot compare the 2 attributes in the condition component.

Please let me know how we can achieve this business functionality.

It wouldn’t be advisable to allow this as it beats the purpose of multilevel approvals: A bit more context would help if you can those some details with us. You’d ideally not want a system/workaround in place that allows bypassing the shared responsibility of approvals and instead consider a process change that forbids the same person from being both, a first and second level approver.
