Hello @Suyash Joshi,

1. To generate the approved request while submitting the record, you can use the 'Set Values' activity from the workflow to set the state of the request as 'Approved'.

2. And to map the u_short_description with any field from the Approval record, you can use 'Run Script' activity from the Workflow. By referring to the appropriate record using the GlideRecord method, you can populate the any field from the Approval record with the u_short_description field.

If the above solution resolve your issue, please mark the solution as 'Accepted Solution' and also marked it as 'Helpful'.

Thank You!

Hello @Suyash Joshi,

Please refer to the below screenshot for the reference to create the workflow.

You can add additional Workflow activities as per you requirement. And after you have done with the workflow, you need to publish the Workflow and to attached that workflow to the catalog item or add the triggered condition if you are not using the catalog item.
