Approval step — required votes

required votes (ApprovalStep.requiredVotes) is a field stored on each approval step record in Chalk, the higher-education academic operations platform for curriculum, assessment, faculty, scheduling, accreditation, and budget. It holds a Int value and is part of the approval step record's data. The requiredVotes field belongs to the approval step it is recorded on, so faculty, staff, and automations read or set requiredVotes while working with that ApprovalStep record. Because requiredVotes is part of the ApprovalStep record, it stays consistent with the rest of that record's data and is scoped to the tenant that owns the approval step.
