       - Make sure it goes to the Approval Level for approval, for which the Approval Action is disabled as per setup.

2. Open the Expense Report in Fluid Approval

• Button for disabled Approval Action is visible. When clicked it throws error message stating that action is not enabled. Disabled Approval Action button should not be displayed as per setup, similar to Classic.

Issue 2:

•  System didn't throw any error and process the action instead of stopping approver to take action if he/she is not enabled for it.
