Approvals Requestor - Dynamic option removed

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by kenny1 14

I used to be able to select a Dynamic field in the Approval Action's Requestor field but recently it's changed and it seems like i can only type a static email address in? 

I used to put the Creator of the Sharepoint List item in there and it was great. Does anyone know a workaround?

Why did they remove this functionality?

It's also effecting the Send an Email actions but only the CC and BCC - the To is still Dynamic?

    Click the little arrows above the field to get the dynamic content.

    Thank you, I didn't see the switch to Advanced mode option at all!
