How to insert approvals using a script

[sk59]

Hi All,

I would like to insert an approval using a BR. Please let me know how to achieve this.

I have a field ABC(glide_list), I want to add the approvers in this field as approvers when a change is completed.

Thanks in Advance

HI,

What i will suggest is to try below code with hardcoded value of approver.

Use below code:

var m = new GlideRecord('sysapproval_approver');
m.initialize();
m.sysapproval= current.sys_id;
m.approver = 'Give sys id of user in this single quotes';
m.state = 'requested';
m.insert();

Let me know if the approver name come's in or not.

Thanks,
Ashutosh Munot

Hi, Since you have mentioned a glide list field here. so just modify the above script and this would work.

var usr= current.field_name.split(',');
for (var i = 0; i < usr.length; i++)

{

var m = new GlideRecord('sysapproval_approver');
m.initialize();
m.sysapproval= current.sys_id;
m.approver = usr[i];
m.state = 'requested';
m.insert();

}

if this can be done through workflow approval then, use:

var answer;

var usr= current.field_name.split(',');
for (var i = 0; i < usr.length; i++){

answer.push(usr[i]);

}

else simply in the workflow approval , set the field to use as ABC.

Hi Ashutosh,

I need to do this by script instead of workflow.

The same script is used earlier where the approver and assignement group values are coming as blank
