Approval step — step number

step number (ApprovalStep.stepNumber) 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 stepNumber field belongs to the approval step it is recorded on, so faculty, staff, and automations read or set stepNumber while working with that ApprovalStep record. Because stepNumber 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.
