You can customize the error message to be displayed when the validation fails.When you add this validator to a transition and that transition is triggered, the add-on checks for a value in the selected field. If no value is found, then an error message (either a configured message or a default) is displayed.

Select the Approvers field and configure an error message, if necessary.
Save the validator.
