I am working on an SP Designer 2010 WF where the initiation form contains a field where the user should describe the reason for changes to the document. This field needs to be visible on the Task that is initiated by the workflow. I have struggled to get this to work
I created an Initiation Parameter called "Reason for Change" - multi line text, which is required and filled in on the Initiation Form. Once the Workflow starts, and Approval Tasks are assigned, I want the contents of "Reason for Change" from the Initiation Form to show on the Task
I added the "Reason for Change "Column to the Task Form, but they are presented as blank and needed to be filled in again. I looked at Association Columns, which I still don't fully understand, and I tried to find the right way to grab the contents of "Reason For Change" from the Parameter, and insert it into the Task Field, but I don't see a clear way to do this. The column on the Task Form should also be read-only
This seems like a simple concept that lots of people would need, so I was hoping someone could tell me how in SP Designer I would be able to accomplish this.
Thank you in advance for your consideration
