How to make the initator of a form not able to be an approver

asked on November 27, 2017

I used an exclusive gateway and tried to use path conditions to send an email to the originator saying it's denied because the originator and the budget manager can't be the same.  The orginator is automatically populated with the user AD account and the drop down list for the budget manager also has the same format, just in a populated list.

Is the end goal not allowing the subsequent user task to be assigned to the submitter of the form? You could look in to using a team filter. Create a team with all of the members of the list, then on the user task, assign it to that team and add a filter. The filter can use the method $result=team.excludeLastSubmitters() to filter out the form submitter and only allow the other team members to take that task.

Mark, is the content in your drop down list for Budget Manager in the same format including case?  This has tripped me up before.

Thank you for responding, it is in the same format.  I'm thinking of looking at maybe a Javascript pop up when the two dataset variables are the same.

Understood.  Good luck with the JavaScript.  Would like to hear how it works out.
