Hi Adam,

What is scope of your requirement? You can try this code to insert an entry into approvals table

var approval_gr = new GlideRecord('sysapproval_approver');

approval_gr.initialize();

approval_gr.state = 'requested';

approval_gr.approver = gs.getUserID();   //Replace with approver from current record

approval_gr.sysapproval = current.sys_id;   //Current is record that requires approval

approval_gr.insert();

Thanks

The approver and sysapproval columns should be replaced according to your required values.

Hi adam,

var ar = new GlideRecord('sysapproval_group');

  var.initialize();

var.assignment_group = g_sys_id;

  var.approval = 'requested';

  var.parent = task_sys_id;

  var.short_description = current.short_description;

  var.description = 'Test Approval Description';

  var.insert();

HOpe this helps you.
