We approve a demand and then kick-off a project. A project does not get approved.  However I see a field called Approval  & Approval set for project.  The value always remain Not yet requested & empty.  What are these fields used for?

Hi Sonu,

The 'Approval' and 'Approval Set' fields are the OOB fields on the task table.

It's available on project table because 'pm_project' table extends 'planned_task' table and 'planned_task' extends 'task' table. So by inheriting the fields of parent table Project table has these two fields.

Approval: This fields reflects the status of approval generated for the record.

Approval Set: This field is used to set the date/time when the Approval was approved.

Since, you are not having any approval on Project table so you can ignore this fields.
