Showing only those selected fields with a value in the Approval automated workflow?

Global Engagement

Hello.

Another Automated workflow question. Is it possible, within the 'customised message' where we select 'Specific fields', that there is a setting that will only show those fields if they have a value? So, for example, someone completes a form, and certain sections may not be relevant, but the automation is set up as a standard workflow.

Many thanks once again

Hi @Vanessa Cavagnaro

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

As a possible workaround, you could use the placeholder feature and combine it with formulas to only include what you want.

Make sense?

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Hmm, that sounds like something I will need to research! For the interim I will just create new workflows.

Many thanks once again!
