Update Request Task Screen

Create the PurchaseRequestUpdate task screen used by Requesters to review rejection feedback, update a rejected Purchase Request, and resubmit it.

Create the Update Request screen

Rather than building this screen from scratch, copy the Approve Request screen and modify the copy for the Requester. For instructions, see Copy the entire screen.

📌

Attention

After copying a screen, review its component references, variables, bindings, expressions, and actions. Unresolved references may appear blank in Lowgile Studio. See Copied Screen References Are Not Updated for more information.

1. Copy the PurchaseRequestApprove screen and rename the copy PurchaseRequestUpdate.
2. Configure the screen text label:

Property	Value
Text	Your request has been rejected. Please update and resubmit:

3. Save your changes before continuing.

Display the Purchase Request details

The copied screen already contains the variables, embedded PurchaseRequestInclude screen, comment field, and other components created for the Approve Request screen. Reconfigure these components so the Requester can edit the Purchase Request while the Approver’s comment is displayed as read-only.

When configuring the Purchase Request details, leave any properties not specified at their default values.

1. Confirm/Reconfigure the screen variables

1. Open the screen’s Variables tab.
2. Confirm that the request variable is configured as follows:

Property	Value
Name	request
Context	Input
Type	This.PurchaseRequest
Default expression	Leave blank

3. Save your changes before continuing.

2. Reconfigure the Purchase Request details and comment

1. Return to the Layout tab.
2. Move the embedded PurchaseRequestInclude screen out of the Disable component and place it above the Disable component.
3. Leave the now empty Disable component in place.
4. Confirm that the embedded screen is configured as follows:

Tab	Property	Value
Properties	Screen	Purchasing.PurchaseRequestInclude
Inputs	request	screen.request

5. Save your changes before continuing.

6. Drag the comment Input component into the empty Disable component.
7. Configure the comment Input component as follows:

Property	Value
Label	Approver comment
Binding	screen.request.comment
Type	Text Area

8. Set or confirm the following Disable component properties:

Property	Value
Disabled	true
Keep disabled if already disabled	Checked

9. Save your changes before continuing.

3. Confirm the screen output

The copied screen already contains the submit output. Confirm that it returns the updated Purchase Request to the Process.

1. Open the screen’s Outputs tab.
2. Confirm that the submit output is configured as follows:

Property	Value
Name	submit
Output type	This.PurchaseRequest
Can drive Process forward	Checked

3. Save your changes before continuing.

4. Update the screen actions

The copied screen contains the Approve and Reject buttons used by the Approver. Replace these controls with a single Resubmit button for the Requester.

1. Return to the screen’s Layout tab.
2. Delete the Reject button.
3. Update the remaining Approve button as follows:

Button	Tab	Property	Value
Resubmit	Properties	Prefix icon	send
		Text	Resubmit
	Appearance	Color	Primary
	Events → Click	Action type → Ad-hoc action	await output.submit(screen.request)
