Proposal approval — current step number

current step number (ProposalApproval.currentStepNumber) is a field stored on each proposal approval 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 proposal approval record's data. The currentStepNumber field belongs to the proposal approval it is recorded on, so faculty, staff, and automations read or set currentStepNumber while working with that ProposalApproval record. Because currentStepNumber is part of the ProposalApproval record, it stays consistent with the rest of that record's data and is scoped to the tenant that owns the proposal approval.
