Hi,
I am ammending our approval request notification email to include start and end dates of the change as well as the business service. the first three are puling in the data in the fields but the rest do not, they just display the field name but no data. I have tried referencing these fields from different tables but always the same results.
Approval for: ${sysapproval}Short Description: ${sysapproval.short_description}
Priority: ${sysapproval.priority}
Category: ${sysapproval.category}
Business Service: ${u_category_level_1}
Planned end date: ${end_date}
Planned start date: ${start_date}
Any thoughts?

Hi Steve,
I think you missed to insert the table name for last 3 fields
Business Service: ${tablename.u_category_level_1}
Planned end date: ${tablename.end_date}
Planned start date: ${tablename.start_date}
Thanks,
Pavan Poul

Reason for this issue is that "Approval For" field refers to "Task" table and task table does not have fields like end_date, start_date(They are on extended table from TASK i.e. change table in your case) etc. You need to to fetch the actual change record in the notification and set the values of start and end date afterwards.
