Auto populate approver name based on the selection of a variable value

[sravya vemula]

Hi Team,

I am working on a requirement where there is a select box variable with 16 question choices.

I need to assign the approval task to various people based on the value selected in the select box. 

I have tried doing this in flow designer but it all became clumpsy and thereafter I also need to assign the sctask to various groups based on the select box value. Could you help out here ?

@sravya vemula 

you can use inline script for group field while you create the catalog task via flow

in that script check value of that choice variable and accordingly set the group sysId

var val = fd_data.trigger.request_item.variables.variableName;

if(val == 'choiceValue1')
return 'groupSysId1';
else if(val == 'choiceValue2')
return 'groupSysId2';

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Yes. I got the Group part. But how to assign the approval tasks to approvers from sys_user ?
