I am building a SharePoint 2013 approval workflow and I want the end user to be able to determine who the approvers should be when they initiate the workflow. Right now, I have a column on my list called "Approvers" that holds people or Group data. This column is also created to take in multiple entries. I have now created a SharePoint 2013 Designer workflow, and done the following
- Added a log to help me identify how the workflow is progressing
- Started a task process. Set the Participants on the task Process to "Current Item: Approvers".
- Added another log to help me identify how the workflow is progressing
...when I run the workflow, I get both logs returned to the history, but no email notifications (tasks) are sent out to the participants. To play devil's advocate, I tried the same thing with a SharePoint 2010 workflow and the task notification do go out. Did something change from 2010 to 2013, that is making the "Start a Task Process" action not function as I am attempting to use it? Is there a new way to use this? Please help...and I appreciate all the help and ideas.
