How can I assign the approval of a request to the “reports to” of the employee who submitted the request?
So far the closest I get is by explicitely setting a specific emplyee as the owner via the assignment map, then setting the approval to that employee’s superior via the apporval map. However I am not able to dynamically set the owner via the assignment map.

@smulvey Approval Map works by BAccount’s default ContactID known as OwnerID in the Approval Workflow. The Employee SupervisorID (Reports To) holds BAccountID instead and in the approval navigation tree does not have a tie to Supervisor’s default ContactID. Unfortunately out of the box it's a dead end but it is doable through some customizations.
