Workflow Approval User Dynamically Based on Cat Item Variable Reference Field

[Stephen Skaggs]

I am trying to create a dynamic workflow approval based on a reference variable. For example, I have a point where a manager of a cost center is required for approval when the cost center variable is selected on the catalog item. For more details into what I mean, I will provide a better example.

Catalog Item Request --> Variable Cost Center A Selected from reference field --> Approval - Manager of Cost Center (dynamically based on the cost center that was selected).

If you need more info let me know.

If its a reference variable, do something like this

current.variables.cost_center.YourRequiredField.toString();

Can you provide context to where this should go? Based on your example I am trying the following in the scripting area for Approval- User on the workflow:

current.variables.cost_center.cmn_cost_center.code.toString();

I am receiving the following error when I attempt to use this code for the approval user:

"illegal use to getmessage in class org.mozilla.javascript.rhino exception"

HI,

You have to use Approval User activity in workflow. There you have to write below code in Script section. See below

I have mentioned script as well in Script box above.

Thanks,

Thank you for the info. I am no longer getting the error.

I am noticing now that it skips this approval now in the workflow. Like there is no approver.
