Yes, a formula can help if the hierarchy changes often.

What about using a formula to dynamically assign it?

Agreed! It should pull the manager from the user record.

The Manager field on the User object? That's so obvious, I can't believe I didn't think of that. *facepalm*

This is a classic case of "the simplest solution is often the best." Just use the Manager field, no need to overcomplicate things.

Wait, there's a Manager field on the User object? I thought we were supposed to use some kind of custom lookup field. This is way simpler!

Haha, the manager's ID? What is this, the 90s? Just use the built-in Manager field, it's right there!

Leverage the Manager field on the User object and use that in the Approval Rule criteria. Easy peasy!

The admin should set up a custom field on the User object that stores the manager's ID, and then use that field in the Approval Rule criteria.

I think we might have to check the Advanced Approvals documentation again. There could be specific settings we need to enable for this to work properly.

I feel like there was something about using a formula to pull the manager's ID for the approval assignment. Does that sound right?

I remember a practice question about assigning approvals based on user hierarchy. Maybe we can use the "Manager" field in the user record?

I think we need to set up a rule that references the user's manager in the Approval Rules, but I'm not entirely sure how to do that.

This seems straightforward, but I want to double-check a few things. I'll need to review the Approval Rules configuration and make sure I understand how to link the Approval requests to the user's manager. I think I can get this done, but I'll take my time to ensure I do it correctly.

I'm a little unsure about this one. I know the Advanced Approvals package, but I'm not sure how to specifically set up the Approval Rules to route the requests to the user's manager. I'll need to do some research and testing to figure it out.
