Hi
I created a three level sequential document approval flow that also updates the document library to show the status of the approval
The approval starts once a new document is added to the sharepoint library.
The flow send an email to the approvers with a link to the document so they can review and decide on approve or reject
Once they take an action, the relevant document library is updated with the following information:
approver decision
approver comments
date and time stamp
This is to help us track where the document is and its status
That process works fine until one of the approvers keeps the document open on their browser. In this case, the library doesn't update because the item is locked by a user
I thought of creating a parallel flow to update a share point list to avoid all together the document locking issue
So I can create a library list item that adds a record when a new document is added to the library, but I cannot pick that record to update the other fields as the approval flow progresses
When I use update item after the approval block, I don't know how to select the proper ID/Title to update. So the end result is that the list doesn't get updated
any idea how I can do this?
thanks
