step dependencies are evaluated by using the step entry conditions configured in the
associated flow.

Approval Chain: The chain associated with the step.
Assignee: The user, group, or queue assigned to approve the step.
Status: The status of the approval step, which is Not Submitted by default.
Approval Condition: The name of the condition that triggered the step.
