      Multiple automation rules

      Expected Results

      A single approval is created. Approvers can click the approve button to approve issues.

      Actual Results

      Duplicate Approvals are shown in the Approval section of the ticket. Approvers cannot see the approval button.

      The below exception is thrown in the atlassian-jira.log file:

      More than one active approval found for issue[issue key:xxxx] and approver[user key:xxxx] combination

      This may only be applicable if multiple automation rules are fired in quick succession.

      Clone the issue, this will create a new issue with a single approval.

      Alternatively, downgrade to a version of Jira Service Desk prior to 3.12
