daves127 2008-11-12T09:31:11Z What a concept... be able to report on data ENTERED in SALESFORCE!!! heatherp 2008-10-08T09:55:25Z kjoseph - can you change the status on this idea so that it doesn't show as delivered when it's not? Thanks. tr21 2008-07-28T08:17:43Z Idea asking to expand new approval comment merge field feature is posted here: http://ideas.salesforce.com/article/show/10091022/Allow_Approval_Comment_merge_fields_to_be_used_in_all_approval_related_emails?skin=null CKZhou 2008-07-22T13:41:12Z The idea was misinterpreted, or miscommunicated, i think. We need to be able to include the comments in the email to the user who submitted for approval! heatherp 2008-07-17T15:19:38Z I have an issue with this!! You guys are either misinterpreting this idea OR miscommunicating to all of your users. This feature is NOT available yet in SFDC, although you are presenting as if it is. CKZhou 2008-07-14T07:24:51Z The release note reads "Note that these approval merge fi elds will be populated only if the email template you create is used as the approval assignment template. If you use the template for any other email alert action--in either workfl ow rules or approval processes--the merge fi elds will return a null value." So we cannot notify the user who submitted for approval with the comments? For example, in case of a conditional approval with some comments, the user should not only be notified that the approval is passed, but also he should be notified there are some comments...... kjoseph 2008-06-19T11:42:43Z Changed status to <span class="status_tag">Delivered</span>. justedel 2008-06-18T10:42:35Z LarryT - you nailed the use case exactly! LarryT 2008-06-18T08:57:41Z Agreed. For example, if someone rejects, it would be nice that the email notification says why the request was rejected in the template without having to go back to salesforce.com justedel 2008-06-09T07:40:40Z It would be great if you could use approval comments in ALL email notification templates related to the approval process, not just the approval email. justedel 2008-04-27T15:25:27Z Please, we need this!!! Also should be able to report on the approval comments. heatherp 2008-04-25T09:25:17Z Yeah cbut any way to move it up to release now though?? crop1645 2008-04-23T12:21:51Z excellent new re: Summer 08; we really need this Rajaram 2008-04-11T17:28:49Z Changed status to <span class="status_tag">Coming in Summer 08</span>. Rajaram 2008-04-11T17:12:39Z Changed status to <span class="status_tag">Coming Soon</span>. JDenis 2008-04-10T02:54:27Z In addition, it would be nice to have an option to make the comment field mandatory when we reject the approval. CKZhou 2008-03-27T11:18:46Z Yes! We need this feature! ramanaji_boodida 2008-03-27T10:15:35Z good fjw 2008-03-27T10:15:35Z When sending an email from a template for a record submitted for approval, it would facilitate communication between the different approvers if the comments field was available. This would allow a standardized template to include instructions from the previous approver when the record is assigned to the next user in the process.
