Can Flow Designer add Workflow Activity to an Ask for Approval task?

[mpmacconnell]

We are converting workflows over using Flow Designer. We have multiple things like inbound actions, the Mobile Agent, and Service Portal that are using the Workflow Activity field on the approval tasks. Flow designer does not see to give us that option.

The Workflow activity field appears to be a reference field, so just trying to put something in there does not see to work as it links to a running workflow.

Is there some way to do this in Flow Designer? We tried using the Create Record instead of the Ask for Approval.

Well it is a reference to the wf_activity table, as far as I remember, so you will not gain anything from using this field, when you convert to Flow Designer. 

You should use the "Ask for Approval" when setting approvals in Flows. Just curious, what are you using the workflow activity field for?

We were using that for field for inbound actions and filters for approvals on the Service Portal. We have updated both the inbound actions and Service Portal to work with the flows now so we can use the Ask for Approval in the flow designer.
