I am trying to Make 'Comments' mandatory, when approving , specific item. I created a UI policy similar to the one which is working correctly, to make 'Comments' Mandatory when rejected. the one I created is not working. also it stops with the first approval, not triggering the next approval.

 any advice/ help please, Thanks

There are 2-3 UI actions against the approval table for "Approve" action. As part of troubleshooting i disabled one which does current.update() after setting state to approved. There is another UI action and I updated code as below:

current.state = 'approved';
if(!JSUtil.nil(current.comments)){
	current.update();
    new ApprovalUserFeedback().approved(current);
}else{
	gs.addErrorMessage(gs.getMessage("Comments are required when approving an approval"));
	current.state = 'requested';
	current.setAbortAction(true);
}

Below is the screenshot after clicking Approve button:

Thanks,
Rahul

Hi Rahul,

I could get this working, but at the same time, another UI action is also applied.(showed in Blue test)

The following OOTB UI action is running, which is for all other  approvals, so I can not disable this.

 I need this 'comments' Mandatory, only for this specific item, so I need a condition to exclude this item from The OOTB UI action

adding  && current.****

 not sure how to, 

any help would be great, Thanks

Please try adding below condition:

current.sysapproval.category.getValue() != "Storage"

Thanks,
Rahul
