Hi @245649 

In Flow Designer, adding a short description and description to an approval task works differently than in traditional workflows where scripting was more flexible. Here’s how you can achieve it:

Approach 1: Using Flow Designer Fields

1. Navigate to Flow Designer and open your approval flow.
2. Add an "Ask for Approval" action.
3. In the action configuration, look for fields like "Approval Summary" or "Approval Instructions"—these can be used to provide context.
4. If the short description isn't available, you may need to update the approval record separately.

Approach 2: Using Inline Scripting

Flow Designer allows limited scripting within certain fields:

1. Click on the scripting icon next to a field (if available).
2. Use fd_data.trigger to retrieve values dynamically.

Please mark my answer as helpful.
