I have a scenario where I have to get one project(item in the table) approved from dynamic level of approvers and store their comments in a column in the table. This means when approver approves a project, he enters a comment which later is shown as an activity. I want to fetch that activity comment and store it in my current table itself.
I am looping the same Approval - user activity till i have users to approve. I think because of this approver_history is not working for me as it shows "user approval for 'username' is deleted as it no longer matches the approval rule get approval from users."
I want to know where are these approval activities are stored so that I can query it and get approver's comments.
In the above image, I want to know how I can get the above typed comment and store it in the table.
I am fairly new to servicenow so i have very little idea about this. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance

You need to query: "sys_journal_field" table with element ID as sys_id of approval record and fetch "value" column, You need to make sure that you store the "value" column as soon as the approval record is approved.

Hi Gowrisankar,
I also would like to know where the actual approver is stored. When I say actual approver i mean to ask about the approver who actually goes and approves the request rather than the approver who has been assigned the approval(delegate approver). i am trying to build a approval history which is as follows:
Orignal approver: <Approver name>
Actual approver: <Approver name>
Action: Approved/Rejected
Comment: <your comment here>
Thanks in advance,
Shubhanshu
