Setting description and short description on Approval from flow designer

[samadam]

How can i set description and short description from flow designer on group approval. I have conditions after the approval is created to close the related case so have a if condition after that. If I try to do n update action would that work?

The description has to be set on the Approval not on case though. Once the Approval is created need to set these.

@samadam 

the "Ask for Approval" flow action doesn't allow you to set other field values.

So you will have to use before insert business rule on table "sysapproval_group" to set Description and Short Description

You can use similar logic to update the field values. Do you need any help with the action ?

Thanks,

I created a business rule and got it working, I was trying to do that in a flow earlier.
