Hey SS,
If you want to create an Approval in My approvals module then you either need to create it using Business Rule or you can do it via WorkFlow. I'm sharing both script with you, please pick what suits you best.
Business Rule Script:
Select the table on with you want this Business rule to run and select a proper trigger. Eg: Insert or Update.
Now click on Advance checkbox and write below script in Advance section of Business Rule:
Business Rule:
var gr=new GlideRecord('sysapproval_approver');
gr.initialize();
gr.sysapproval=current.sys_id;
gr.approver=current.u_ad_hoc; // Edit this line with the field you want to send approval to.
gr.state='requested';
gr.insert();
The above business rule will run for the table you have selected and on the trigger condition. Eg: Insert or Update.
Using Workflow:
To use below script you need to drag and drop any Approval activity in your WorkFlow. Eg: Approval User or Group.
Script:
var answer = [];
answer.push(current.variables.application_support_person); // Edit the field name
answer.push(current.variables.application_support_person.manager); //Edit this too
If the above above answer helps you then please mark my answer Correct and Helpful.
Thanks and Regards:
Utpal Dutta
