Display Form Section on Approval Summarizer

[Matthew Glenn]

Is there an easy way to display Form Sections on Approval Summarizers?

I have a custom table (exteneded from task), for which I've created a custom Approval Summarizer UI Macro for. The only problem is, by default fields that are displayed in a Form Section in the default view are not displayed on the Approval Summarizer. These fields are not inherited from Task; they are native to the custom table

I've read every Wiki doc and Community post I can find regarding summarizers, but can't seem to piece together how this can be accomplished without coding an entirely new summarizer (as done here)

Any quick and easy way to do this?

There will be a OOTB UI macro 'approval_summarizer_default' which can give you an idea how to get a form on the Approval Formatter

I've gotten that far. However, by default, UI Macros for Approval Formatters don't appear to add/include additional sections that may have been added to the default view of the form, or at least not that I can tell. That is where my problem lies. See attached image for reference

I can throw together some heavy jelly/html/css to manually add the fields and populate the values, giving it all the same appearance, but I'd like to avoid that if at all possible.

Why dont you create a separate view where you will have all your fields in main section. Then mimic the Approval Summarizer macro to call that view instead of Default view

Although it's not the route I originally wanted to go, I ended up doing so and it worked perfectly.

Thank you very much.
