I had a question about how to get this going: - I have emails being sent out that include a link to the task form. However right now, the previous task from is in the email. How can I make it such that the approver recieves an email to approve in the task form
- I don't have extensive knowledge of progmatticaly making such changes, so please bear with me
Thanks!
