Approval from a Variable

[alexcharleswort]

I am currently working on a workflow and messing around with some approvals. In my form, I have the user fill out a "who is your manager?" field from a reference. I want to, then, have the approval task pull from the field they filled out in the form and email that specific manager for approval. Thoughts/ideas?

Hi all, 

I have a similar requirement where in the approval should go to a variable manager ( variable name - instead of going to the requester opener manager.

example A opened the request for B and B"s manager is C
So approval request should go to C/

I know that I have to write a script in user activity advance section but not sure what it is .

I tried below 2  but did not work 

=answer = [];

=answer.push(current.variables.requested_forPoweshell.sys_id);

=======

answer='';

if(curent.variables.requested_forPoweshell)
{

answer=current.variables.requested_for.manager.toString();

}
