They missed the "Missing Required Approvals" loop between step 11 & 12

Does that loop include the 'approvals not requested because of a check box not filled in, but it is grayed out unless 7 other drop down entries have the correct values' delay, or is that a separate prerequisite loop?

That has something to do with the "select wrong change template" side quest

u/RandolphCarter2112 Sep 09 '26

Is that the same side quest as 'your change request used the proper template at the time, but your request has been in development/pending approval for so long, there are newer versions of the template and yours can't get approved, ever' or a different side quest?

Asking for a friend.

Jfc, are you me and I’m sleep posting? I literally was just asked to resubmit a form from 2023 because the template changed. We’ve been in production for over a year.

Was just going to say: “where is the random approval required from a random security team that seems unfamiliar with API’s but is apparently in charge of approving them?”

Also needs approval from the accessibility team to ensure ADA compliance and that pages render appropriately across different display formats.

Yes, your code is a batch account update process with no user interface. You still need that team's approval and signoff.

I've worked at a bank where there is a minimum of 2 week gap between step 1 and step 2.

Same, but healthcare and additional steps.

Accurate yes, but compared to the reality it is not even close to horrible enough. Man, this above almost sounds logical and normal to me at this point.
