  • So you're saying that I would need to create a field in the library (metadata) for these comments to be stored and then go back into the workflow and add an "update item on ___" to the tasks? Commented Apr 10, 2015 at 20:38
  • You need to add a field in your task form. Then add a field (comment) in your list. Then modify task action and update the current item comment field. Commented Apr 10, 2015 at 20:45
  • Ok I have been able to create a field in the task form named "Approver Notes" & have verified that it shows up on the approval form (using infopath). I have also be able to go into the "change behavior of task" and "before task is assigned" set the field. But I'm still having a problem setting it up to copy the information from the approval form into my list. Commented Apr 13, 2015 at 14:08
  • The column I created for the task list is called "Approver Notes" I set Task Field Approver Notes = Variable: Approver Notes (which I also created). Then I attempted to set "Update Item in Current Item" using field Approver Notes and Value Variable: Approver Notes. But this does not appear to work.The comments added to Approver Notes are being saved in the column on the task list but they are not being then copied over to the Approver Notes column created in the other list. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Commented Apr 13, 2015 at 19:29
