Hi All,
I am hoping to tap into your SharePoint expertise.
I am using an the OOB Approval workflow to review and approve a document, once approved the document is then viewable by read only users (by using the content approval option). I have copied the OOB Approval workflow and added a section to update the approval status (content approval column) as pictured below:
The issue is that now the workflow requires the item to be checked out to update the approval status ( I need the check in/out option enabled for document control).
Has anyone got any suggestions how I can resolve this, I guessing I need to include a statement in the workflow to check out the item, update the approval status and then check in so that it is viewable by read only users.
Why u have created a spd workflow, by default once u activate the content approval there will be approval status column which will update once approver approved ? So why u have created?sorry needs to understand the context ?
