how to add approver in workflow depending on selection of user for a field like lookup select box?

Hi Aritra,

You need to checked the advanced checkbox in your User approval and use a script to get the value of the field. Let's call it a reference field "u_user".

The script might look something like this:

answer = [];

answer.push(current.getValue('u_user'));

// Untested

how to know the name of the variable?

[Chuck Tomasi]

If it is a variable from a catalog item, you can find the name in the list of variables in that item.

If it is a field on a form, right click on the field label and look at the option "Show xxxxx". That will say the name of the field.

For example:

[aritra23]

var k= current.getValue('fieldname') should return the value of the field right?
