Related Link (on Related List) Not Showing on Form for Approvals

[Scott Jordheim]

Hello, I'm hoping this will be an easy one. The issue I'm running into is a custom UI action (List Link) isn't showing for resending approvals on a requested item when it should be.

I can get it to show as long as an approval in the "requested" state is on the bottom of the related list, but if the bottom-most approval on said list is "approved", the link will not show. As a more-permanent workaround, I did add it to the list choices as well, which technically solves the issue. However, I really want this to show as a List Link when it should be.

Hi Scott,

When you do "list choice" on the sys approval_approver table record then it will be shown on the list "actions on selected rows"

So if you select your requested state record and then click on or open the list options, you will see your "resend approval" action there. 

Please mark the answer helpful or correct based on the impact of the response. 

Thanks

Correct. That is the technical workaround I put in place (and probably will be using), but I was hoping somebody would know why the "list link" option wasn't always showing.

The "list choice" option for the UI action works exactly as I would expect, but it isn't as convienent and "in your face" as the list link option is for our users.

Well it should show always. I dont see a reason why not. 
I tried with 2-3 records and it does show to me.
