I have two actions Approve and Deny. I want the supervisor to have the opportunity to enter comments when they approve or deny. I could not see anyway to have a popup show up when they hit the approve or deny button that would prompt for comments.
I did try creating another action “comments” and it uses a slice that has just the record id and comments.And I use a LINKTOROW([Recordid], “Comments”)
If the user selects that action first - they can type in comments, then it goes back to the form and tehy can hit the approve action(thumbs up)…that is not going to work.
I want the comment action to come right after the deny or approve action…wish it could all be in one.
no does the same thing, never goes to the comment form.
I even tried switching the order.
When I made the comment form 1st in order of the grouped actions. The Comments did come up and took my comments, but the GM approve action didn’t run I can tell because the fields are not updated
Why are you using LINKTOROW instead of LINKTOFORM? You should setup a new form that only the supervisors can access. That form only has Approval (maybe as buttons) and Comments (long text). Then you don’t even need to use an action to set Approval or slices. Ezpz.
whatever action is first runs…
is it a Sync? or something
So when I had comments first, that action works
and Approval first, it approved but did not run the comment action.
I have probably a dozen grouped actions in a single app that do something and then launch a form based on slice (a couple below). So it is definitely doable.
I would need to see the details. There is something not set right
But what about @Bahbus suggestion? Just launch into the Form and have both the Approve/Deny buttons there as well as the Comments field. In the end it is the same result.

Do you know if a LOOKUP() will halt a Grouped Action?
It will not.
In my experience, a grouped action stops if a navigation action occurs or if an error occurs with one of the actions. In this case, I suggest verifying all of the column values the Data: set the values of some columns in this row are valid. Notably: enclose the Text values in quotes (e.g., "Approve", "With VP Approval"), and prefix the first argument of that LOOKUP() with [_THISROW]..

In that case, same thing but with the LINKTOROW(). Use that to go to a form that is only Approval and Comments. The supervisor then selects the approval and writes in the comments before save. Then you avoid the group action altogether.
Both of these actions work perfectly on their own. The linktorow Is in the Comment action and by itself works perfectly, it updates the row. The GM Approval updates also, but after selected it closes the form.
I think that is why on a grouped action it is not working.
The GM Approval updates also, but after selected it closes the form.
I’m unclear what you mean by this. Are you saying that only GM Approval updates but none of the other three fields get updated. For example, is GMSignature getting updated with the USEREMAIL()?
