 Hi Donald,


Based on the work item status and project area, for example when the work item transitions into a "Testing Completed" state it should automatically populate a list of approvers based on the project area the work item belongs to.

Almost a "Dependent Enumeration" type scenario.

Thanks for taking the time to look into this Donald, really appreciate it.

I wrote a participant plugin that injected approvals onto workitems when they transitioned to specific states.  It had the ability to select a specific user, all users in a role, user with least outstanding approvals and random user in role.
(all thru configuration)

an extension of the plugin in Ralph's blog

The only way this could be achieved would be custom operational behavior. https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/11/30/a-create-approval-work-item-save-participant/ describes a possible approach.

You should be able to achieve it in the same way as the "dependent enumeration" scenario.
