If you have a job in your workflow, with type: approval, it will cause every pull request to receive a yellow “in progress” mark. Is there any way to filter out the approval step, so that pull requests could receive the green checkmark, if the other jobs in the workflow complete successfully?
I have tried fiddling with the protected branches/workflow jobs setting, so that it only includes the relevant jobs, but that did not help, my pull requests are still stuck in pending.
i had a similar issue when i did not set up separate workflows based on the branch that is being built. on the workflow that you have the approval step, i would try using a filters value and have it only run when building a certain branch, such as smoke branch or a QA- branch.

I am in the same boat. I have a single workflow. Would setting up multiple workflows fix the pull request status? Is there another workaround. This seems like a big flaw.
agree. it would be nice if there was an optional-approval step, so that once all previous checks passed you’d see the green check.
alternatively, it might make sense for “on hold” workflows without failed checks to show a yellow check
This is a problem for me as well. In particular I cannot merge PRs from my phone because the tests never complete.
I think this is a limitation with GitHub Checks, but can I ask you to create a feature request here https://ideas.circleci.com/ ?
This will put it in front of the product team and allow other customers to vote and comment on it.
