How can I get the sys_id of an approver within a workflow?

[kent_harwell]

Can someone please tell me how to store the sys_id of an approver into g_scratchpad?

I need to save the sys_id of the person that approved an "Approval - User" activity in a workflow to use later in the same workflow.

Hello Kent,

Add below code in approver activity or any of the activity and then using workflow scratchpad you can access it,

var gr = new GlideRecord('sysapproval_approver');
gr.addQuery('sysapproval','current.sys_id');
gr.query();
if(gr.next()){

workflow.scratchpad.approvarName = gr.approver;
gs.print("Approver SYS ID:"+gr.approver+"Approvar Name:"+gr.approver.name);

}

Workflow scratchad :

Hello Kent,

If you have more than one approvars then use below script:

var gr = new GlideRecord('sysapproval_approver');
gr.addQuery('sysapproval',current.sys_id);
gr.query();
var approvers =[];
while(gr.next()){
approvers.push(gr.approver.toString());
gs.log("Approver SYS ID:"+gr.approver+"Approvar Name:"+gr.approver.name);

}

workflow.scratchpad.approvarName = approvers;
gs.log("All the approvers:"+approvers);
