Approval Node Form Changes

[shaktinayak]

We have a requirement to add a text box to the Approval Node's  "Default Approval Form" for approver to provide some input. I have tried to add a html code for text box by editing the source code, it comes up successfully in the preview but doesn't come up in the form when user is approving/rejecting the request.

Can anybody provide the syntax to add such a text box.

I basically took part of the form which lets approvers enter a comment and changed it a little bit.

 <tr>
	<td valign="top" class="inputname" style="width:95px;">
		<div id="Div_CustomInput">
              Enter data here
		</div>
	</td>
	<td height="129" style="width:15px;">
		<p>
		</p>
	</td>
	<td class="inputvalue">
		<textarea cols="40" class="inputvaluefld" name="jobUserData_WFVAR" id="Custom"></textarea>
	</td>
</tr>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

As you see the name of the text area (jobUserData_WFVAR) means whatever data entered here will create a Job level workflow variable named WFVAR. Hope this helps
