Ask for Approval action does not populate table name when a document id is used

[Kquinton]

Hello All,

I created a approval sub flow in Flow Designer, that I am trying to make dynamic so that it can be used on multiple tables including custom tables not extending task. The issue I am seeing is that the 'Ask For Approval' action will not fill in the table when using a Document ID record. When running a test, I receive an error saying the "Record in table does not exist or is unreadable". I have a source table field that can be used for the table but it is greyed out. Does anyone know if it is possible to script the table name or populate it somehow when the table is not known in the 'Ask for Approval' action?

Hi @Kquinton 

Just my thought I didn't tried this.

How about using Look up record action and query the table using sourcetable and record sub flow inputs then using this action output record in Ask for Approval?

Please mark my answer helpful and accept as a solution if it helped 👍✅

Thanks for your reply! Yeah I tried that as well. The data pill for the Look Up Record is greyed out and cannot be added. So I tried scripting it to get that looked up record and it found it during runtime but still receive the error that table name does not exist or is unreadable.

Try using a look up record action first to find the record, then use the output in the ask for approval action

Thanks for your reply! Yeah I tried that as well. The Record data pill for the Look Up Record is greyed out when attempting to add it to the Ask for Approval. So I tried scripting it to get the looked up record and it found it during runtime but I still receive the error that table name does not exist or is unreadable. See attached screenshots.
