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?

@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

Glad to know that my approach to suggest business rule worked for you.

Would you mind marking my response as correct and close the thread?
