Editalbe field in approve/reject link page

Hi,

Need help for my requirement.

My req is: I need to have "Reason for Rejection" picklist editable when the approver clicks on approve/reject link which is available in the Approval History related list. i should make the picklist editable,so that the approver can select the reason for rejection when he/she rejects.

 

  i have been told to customize Approve/Reject page. But, how can i tag my Custom VF page.  can we override Approve/Reject link . please advise

 

 I read somewhere, i  need to customize the whow approval process since Approve/Reject link can not be overridden.

 

Please need someone's help.

Hey Vairav,

 

Unfortunately, ikts true that overriding the Approve/Reject lin k would not be possible and you would have to design a custom approval process.

 

While searching for a solution I found the following link, worth giving a read to see if that can fulfil your requirement:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10779714/how-can-we-overide-an-approve-button-in-approval-related-list

This guy used a trigger to customize the approval process.

One thing you need to clear that overriding  this list by custom VF page is very lengthy task as you need to handle many thing like 

Visibility Approve/Reject link  as per approval process.

new wizard where you need to show reason picklist.

 

but yes it is possible

HI Sandep,

 What u meant to say is we have to completely mimic/customize all the functionalities(Submit For Approval button, Recall Approval process button, Reassign link, Approval/Reject link ) in Approval process.  Please tell me if i am correct

sandeep@Salesforcesandeep@Salesforce

Yes because we can not directly override Submit for approval button or Approve /Reject link
