Approval - Custom Responses

Posted on 11 Oct 2022 13:44:20 by StanBaer 17

When using the email response to standard "Approve/Reject" approval request, the selected response is displayed in the confirmation screen:

But when a Custom Response is used, nothing is displayed on the confirmation screen and the user must make the choice a second time.

Is this functioning correctly?  It doesn't seem right to make the user choose their response twice.

I have the same question (0)

    Re: Approval - Custom Responses

    I found my own solution... The problem is including spaces in the response.  When I change the custom responses to "Custom_Response_1" and "Custom_Response_2", it works as it should.  Replacing the underscores with spaces causes the issue again.
