How to set Short Description on Approver tab

[SNewbies]

Hello!

I am creating 2 different approvals from same request one for onboarding another for system access.

I am able to get the two approvals but the short description for both Approvals is same, I want to keep short description for Onboarding to Onboarding User and for System access to be System access.

How can I do this? 

Thank you

Hi @SNewbies ,

You can create a business rule on insert of approval. define right condition and set the short description accordingly.

or you can set the dynamic values in workflow or flow desinger if your creating / generating approval via flow / workflow.

(function executeRule(current, previous /* previous() if it is an async business rule */) {
    var requestType = current.u_request_type;
    var shortDescription = "";
    if (requestType == "Onboarding") {
        shortDescription = "Onboarding User";
    } else if (requestType == "System Access") {
        shortDescription = "System Access";
    }

    current.short_description = shortDescription;

})(current, previous);

Hi @SNewbies ,

I tried your problem in my PDI and it works for me please create Before Business Rule on Inserted and add below code 

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/ ) {

    // Add your code here
    var type = current.u_request_type;
    var shortDescription = "";
	gs.log("Here Approvals SD = " + current.document_id);
    if (type == "backend value onboarding_user") {
		gs.log("Here Approvals SD = " + current.document_id);
        current.short_description = 'Onbording User';
    }if (type == "backendValue of System Acess") {
		current.short_description = 'System Access';
    }

})(current, previous);

Please mark my answer correct and helpful if this works for you

Thanks and Regards
