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

Typically the best way to get the value from your field is to use the getValue() method as you suggested.

In the workflow approval, you need to save the value to the 'answer' variable, which is typically and array of sys_ids, so please follow my instructions and review the comments in the Script field of the user approval workflow activity (you need to check the Advanced checkbox first to make the script field appear.)

Hi Aritra,

i want to send a approval request to the user that will be selected in the lookup select box name 'choose manager'(variable).
