Create an approval step

Módulo Platform

POST/approval-stepsapprovalSteps.create

An ordered step of an approval policy (1030). It names its approvers: everyone holding a role, or one member. Steps change only while the policy is a Draft (approval_step_policy_not_draft: 422). Creates an approval step. Requires `Idempotency-Key`; a replay returns the original response. The organization is derived from the credential or the parent row, never from the body.
