How to cancel a flow on click of a UI action on a particular record

[Sanket Pawar]

I have a requirement, where on click of a UI action ,I need to cancel the approval flow which gets triggered, but on click of the UI action the only a particular records approval flow should get  cancelled,

for example :

I have submitted a ticket and sent for approval ,and if i click on the UI action present on the form ,should cancel the approval flow only for that particular record.

HI @Sanket Pawar ,
I trust you are dong great.
Below is a sample script that you can use in your UI Action. This example assumes you are working with a Change Request record, but you can adapt it to other record types as needed:

// This script is to be used in a UI Action on the form of the record type (e.g., Change Request)

// Ensure the script only runs on the server side
if (g_user.hasRole('admin') && current.getTableName() == 'change_request') {
    // Query the 'sysapproval_approver' table to find approvals related to the current record
    var approvalGR = new GlideRecord('sysapproval_approver');
    approvalGR.addQuery('sysapproval', current.sys_id);
    approvalGR.addQuery('state', 'requested'); // Target only active ('requested') approvals
    approvalGR.query();

    while (approvalGR.next()) {
        // Cancel each found approval
        approvalGR.state = 'cancelled';
        approvalGR.update();
    }

    // Optional: Add a message to inform the user that the approvals have been cancelled
    gs.addInfoMessage('All approval requests for this record have been cancelled.');
}

action.setRedirectURL(current);
