Thanks Chandan and Devanshu for your input on this. Extending the ProductPromoAction entity with maxDiscountAmount field could be a standard and straight-forward enhancement.
Just as an alternative option, a separate ProductPromoAction record with a new productPromoActionEnumId (say 'PROMO_MAX_DISCOUNT') could be created (along with existing PROMO_ORDER_PERCENT record) that will help promotion engine to validate/compare the calculated promotional percentage discount with maxDiscount limit and override the final discounted amount as needed. Any additional insights to conclude the approach from the above two options would be appreciated.
