I have created a custom SharePoint list called "Issue Tracker" and enabled content approval in versioning settings. When I enabled that, it added approval columns automatically. I have created a workflow using SharePoint designer wherein whenever a user uploads a document by entering the Approver name, a task is assigned to the approver. When the task is approved, I am not able to set in SharePoint designer to change the status to Approved. Please find the below screenshots of my list and workflow.

Hi Bharat, I tried but it's not changing the approval status when the task outcome is approved. If I remove your red box, then it's triggering an email and the workflow status etc. Jun 25, 2018 at 4:33

Bharat, I am the administrator and so I have full access. What do you mean by moderation status? To explain clearly, I have enabled the "Require content approval for submitted items?" in versioning which added the Approval columns. The flow is able to trigger only till the creation of task.

Hi Bharat, there's no error but the workflow is working only until the creation of task. Can I contact you in skype or some other ways? Thanks Jun 25, 2018 at 8:01
