@Deepika61 

then when they select the approver on popup it should send an approval to that user?
if yes then you can use UI page and invoke it from UI action in workspace

How to use UI Actions in Workspaces 

there is a syntax to open UI page

this is the syntax

var ui_page_id = '<sys_id_of_your_ui_page>';
    g_modal.showFrame({
        url: '/ui_page.do?sys_id=' + ui_page_id,
        title: 'Choose a template',
        size: 'xl',
        height: 500
    });

Hi @Deepika61, 

Use the below code in Workspace client script in UI Action : 

Name - Ask Approval 

Script - 

function onClick(g_form){
g_modal.showFields({
title: "Approver",
fields: [{
type: 'reference',
name: 'approver',
label: getMessage('Approver'),
mandatory: true,
reference: 'sys_user',  // reference table of the approver field
referringTable: 'sc_task'  // table on which ui action is visible

referringRecordId: g_form.getUniqueValue(),

value: g_form.getValue('approver'), 

displayValue: g_form.getDisplayValue('assigned_to')

}, ],
size: 'md'
}).then(function(fieldValues) {
g_form.setValue('approver', fieldValues.updatedFields[0].value);  // first string to be the backend value of approver field on sc_Task
g_form.save();
});

}
