Request Item show Approvers in list view

Currently, the only field on request items that shows approval information is stage and only tells you the status. I have an ask to show who the approver is on the list view.

I believe the only way to accomplish this is to copy the approver on the sys_approval table to the sc_req_item table. I created a field on the requested item field as Approval For(u_approval_for)

Business Rule condition. There are no actions, as i have used advanced

Code

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

var requestitem = new GlideRecord('sc_req_item');

requestitem.get(current.document_id);

if(requestitem.isValidRecord()) {

  sc_req_item.u_approval_for =   current.approver + ',' + sc_req_item.u_approval_for;

requestitem.update();

}

})(current, previous);

Harel, i fixed my problem


i switched my approval for field to be a reference field to the user table.


i modified the script to be


requestitem.u_approval_for =   current.approver ;



and now the approval for field displays the approver

You might want to consider creating a Glide List field similar to watchilist and use your before business rule to add/remove the users to the array based on the approvals


This will show up in a list view? I just want to show who the approval is waiting for
