Hi Ashutosh,

I have the glide_list field on Change table which stores the groups and I need to add them as approvers when change state is completed.

HI,

So you can write a after update BR with conditions as State changes to Completed.

var app = current.glide_list_field_name;

var spl = app.split(',');

var len = spl.length;

for(var i=0;i<len;i++)

{

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

}

Thanks,
