I'm working on RITM approvals and need to modify the default group approval behavior. I have a custom field 'approvers' (List of Users type) on the Group table that contains specific users who should receive approval requests.
My requirements:
- Use Group Approval (not User Approval) to preserve which groups were requested
- Only users in the custom 'approvers' field should get approval requests, not all group members
- Don't want to manually extract user sys_ids and use individual user approvals
Current challenge:
When I use standard group approval, it sends requests to ALL active group members, but I only want the subset defined in my custom 'approvers' field.
I've considered scripted group approvals but want to ensure:
· It still shows as a group approval in the system
· The group relationship is maintained for reporting
· Only my specified approvers receive the request
Has anyone implemented something similar? What's the best approach - workflow script, business rule, or some other method that maintains the group approval context while filtering the actual approvers?
