Hi I am trying to add the workflow message field to our simple design layout so that authors can make a note of what they changed when applying for approval.
I tried putting %workflow-F_workflow_log_message% on the details layout but nothing so I moved it to the workflow layout but still nothing.
Am I right in thinking this message field will only display at the approval step. Any way of it displaying at the apply for approval stage?
Thanks,
Sarah
Workflow keywords will only be replaced when the asset is in workflow, you may check whether an asset is currently in workflow by looking at it's current status in the detail screen.
You should see a message that reads:
This asset is currently in workflow. Approval or rejection of the changes must be done on the asset workflow screen
I don't think you can enter a comment when you apply for approval, you can only enter a comment when you "Approve and Make Live" or "Reject Changes". The log message box is to allow other approvers to know why you have accepted or rejected the changes.
[Edited to add 3rd paragraph]
If you want to include a list of the messages logged during workflow use the %workflow-F_workflow_logs% keyword.
Cheers
