Hello, I'm currently trying to make a case stage process where an approval is sent out to two people, one financial controller and one department manager. I've set up so that when a case reaches the "Approval" stage a sub-process is run that sends out approval that need to be confirmed. 

My problem is that after the approvals have been approved I don't know the best way to get the approval status values(Positive, Negative etc.) back to the case stage to determine what to do with the result. I want to use the result of the approvals in the case process to determine which case stage to go to next, using the (if result -> set stage to). 

I tried saving the result of the approvals in process parameters that I refer to in the case process but the only thing I can get out of the approvals is a Result Parameter (Id). I save the process parameter as a lookup (Approval status-lookup). But I cant figure out how to get the (positive/negative) value using formula syntax in the case process. 

 

Can anyone please help with this? Any help is really appreciated!

All steps that have been done for getting approval status value in case stage were correct. There is just a little syntax error in the formula (https://prnt.sc/pqaea2). In order to check the equality of two values please use the sign  "=="  instead of "=".

I realized this too much later to my embarrassment, I cant believe I missed that ^^ Thank you very much for your help!

Hi Per, I am also trying to achieve the same use case for sending the approval and storing the result. But not able to do that. Could you please help me to achieve this?
