Add Approve/ Reject Button on the change form

[Samiksha2]

Hi All,

I have a requirement to add Approve/ Reject Button on the change form. I tried the below script but it is make all the approver no longer required including who approves it. And state is not changing.

Thanks,

Hi ,

Check the state backend value. May be it is not "approved" rather some digit value like 1,2,3, etc.

Hi @Samiksha2,

Do you have the state choice 'Approved' on the Change Form? If yes, then once confirm the choice value.

If you are trying to set the state of Approval record then you need to glide record the sysapproval_approver table.

You can test the below script to set the state of the Approval record to approved.

var grApr =  new GlideRecord("sysapproval_approver");

grApr.addQuery('sysapproval', current.sys_id);

grApr.addQuery('approver', gs.getUserID());

grApr.addQuery('state', 'requested');

grApr.query();

if(grApr.next()){

    grApr.state = 'approved';

    grApr.update();

}

new global.UIActionUtils.approvalsNoLongerRequired(curren.sys_id); // To set the remaining approvals to No loger required,

Hi @Samiksha2 ,

I'm in agreement with @Dr Atul G- LNG on this one. Although a client/customer is requesting something, after performing some research and gathering the understanding of the 'why' the OOTB setup doesn't suffice, I would lean toward the side of caution and recommend not customizing the system.
