I have sharepoint 2013. I have the OOTB list "pages". I have add the "Approval - SharePoint 2010" workflow to this list.
Now I have add the sharepoint group "approvers" to the field approvers.
How do I need to setup my workflow if I would like to finish/end the workflow after the first approval? I have for example 4 users in the sharepoint group "approvers".
You can edit the workflow in SPD and customize the action.
Here's a similar question but with the opposite (to cancel on first rejection)
And have you checked this codeplex project ?
It provides a second association form page where you can select additional options such as:
I found a better solution: You need to uncheck the option "Expand groups". In this situation there will be 1 task and not for each user a task. The first approver who approved the task, finished the workflow and the item will be published.
Just an update for anyone using SP2013:
In SP 2013, unchecking "Expand Groups" does not solve the problem. Multiple tasks are still created, and the workflow does not end until all approvers have completed their tasks.
