Rick, I would not change phase names, specially with ITSM 7.5.1 I had a fairly deep conversation about this with BMC support, and I was convinced not to do it....I don't think it has been tested enough. With ITSM 7.6.1 or ITSM 7.6.2 maybe I would try it.

The place to change the Approval Phase Names is in the APR:SYS-Approval Definition form, in the Phase Name field. You just type in whatever name you want to use rather than select from the Menu. Once you change it there, the change appears in the menus of both that form and the Approval Mappings form. Haven't tested the execution of those all the way through the Approval process, but it should work.

The menus on the Approval Process form are generated from that form itself, like you hand-enter a value and then it appears in the menu. There is also an interface form that allows modification of the entries that we see in the menus, but it doesn't allow new entries. Has someone actually done what I am trying to do - alter the Phase Names used in the Approval Mapping forms?

There is a panel for status flow that can alter the status the ticket goes to on approval / rejection - even if you don't change the phase name.
