Hi @nandini29 ,

 

From the screenshot, the approval record exists, but the Update failed error points to a permissions or portal issue rather than assignment. Please check:

  • User has the approver_user role.

  • The approval (sysapproval_approver) is in Requested state and assigned correctly.

  • Try from My Approvals in native UI if it works there, the problem is with portal ACLs or the approval widget.

  • Review system logs for any ACL/BR errors blocking the update.

Thanks & Regards,
