Hi,

got it

Try this code in the UI action of Approve on your custom Table; It should be server side

updateRecord();

function updateRecord(){

var rec = new GlideRecord('sysapproval_approver');

rec.addQuery('sysapproval', current.sys_id).addOrCondition('document_id', current.sys_id);

rec.query();

if(rec.next()){

rec.state = 'approved';

rec.update();

}

}

Hi, sorry for my late answer... 

So I finally wrote this code (client side + server side) but still get an error: 

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'setAttribute' of null

I don't really know what's wrong with the code.... 

It definitely calls the client side function (I have the pop up question) but stop with the server side function and send me to the UI action form....

Thank you for your help

Onclick call the demoClientServerInv()

function demoClientServerInv()
{
	var answer=confirm("Are you sure you want to approve this invoice?");
	if(answer == true){
		gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), 'sys_demoinvoice');
	}
}
if (typeof window == 'undefined'){
	updateRecord();
}

function updateRecord(){

	//rec.addQuery('sysapproval', current.sys_id).addOrCondition('document_id', current.sys_id);
	rec.addQuery('document_id', current.getUniqueValue());

	rec.query();

	if(rec.next()){

		rec.state = 'approved';

		rec.update();
	}
	action.setRedirectURL(current);
}
