Workflow activity field on the sysapproval_approver table

There is a reference field on the sysapproval_approval table called Workflow activity that references the wf_activity table. On our instances, this is always blank, even when the approval has been generated from a workflow activity. I would like to get the workflow activity populated into this field when the approval is generated from a workflow. Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking maybe i would have to change the Activity definition for the user approval, but I can't figure out what exactly to add there.

Hi. I assume that you got this answered? Just in case though - the issue you have is that certain workflow activities are only available for the task table and task table extensions. If your custom table is not extended from task you will not see approvals as a valid activity.
