Hi,

 

You can try with the below workaround, If that works for you.

 

Create a custom "Comments" field and add it to the Approval Page layout.

 

In the corresponding Approval related lists - remove the standard comments column and this custom column.

 

By doing so, you can capture the comments in your custom field and make use in the Email templates.

 

But the problem is, the standard Comments field will still appear in the read only mode.

 

Thanks

You can use flows now to get this done.....this article works.  It does exactly what you want, push comments to a custom field on the record trigginer record:  https://salesforcetime.com/2022/01/26/using-flow-to-save-approval-information-to-record-fields/
