Validate Approval Item is Being Clicked on Before User can Approve

#1 · August 4, 2022, 4:37 pm

We want to confirm that users are clicking the approval item link before they actually approve an item. I believe the easiest way to do this would be to have an on-column change that changes a hidden yes/no column to yes when the user clicks the item. When the status = yes, the approve button will appear.

Is this possible? Is there a different way of doing this? What would the on-column change be if I did it this way?

We believe you are referring to approvals done using Approval App. Please let us know if you are referring to add approve/deny button in the display form instead of going to edit form in this case.

Yes, I am using the Approval App. The approve/deny buttons are in the edit form of the approval task.
