4. In Approvals tab, approver is a different person

The system has determined the approvers correctly , but approval was manually completed by another user who has the necessary rights to take action on that approval task. Hence, under Approvals tab, the system is showing the name of the person who has completed the task.

If the person responsible for the task takes action on the approval task, then the system will show that person's name in the Approvals tab.

That means, whoever takes action on the task, his/her name will appear in the Approvals tab after the task is completed.
