Editable Comment Field for Approver When Declining
Add an editable comment field option when an automated approval request goes out so the approver can enter why they are declining a specific request.

Hi @TSater
This is already available!
You can select "A comment" as one of the specific fields sent out with an Approval Request.
This then allows the approver to add a comment at the same time as Approving or Declining:
Note that this is only for the Conversations area of a Smartsheet sheet. If you want approvers to be able to fill out other columns, then I would suggest using an Update Request instead.
Cheers,
Genevieve

Thank you! I was looking for a comment to populate in a column versus the conversations, but this will definitely work for now.

This is great — is it possible to make this a required field?

Hi @Pauline J No, there currently isn't a way to make it required.

Thank you @Genevieve P. for letting me know. It's still a good feature 😊
