I did find an example where they pass a list to the Approval Process like this: Approval.process(reqList, true) But I get an error saying I am missing a required field - but who knows what? I can;t find any documentation other than submitting one record at a time which could of course cause problems. Any thoughts? Thanks Elly I am trying to write a similar trigger bu I need it bulkified. I did find an example where they pass a list to the Approval Process like this:
Approval.process(reqList, true)

But I get an error saying I am missing a required field – but who knows what? I can;t find any documentation other than submitting one record at a time which could of course cause problems.

Any thoughts?
Thanks
Elly

How can i ensure that an approval process exists or create one in code as part of my tests? (This is part of a managed package so no control over the org's config) Any ideas much appreciated! Great post, thanks Jeff,

I have tried to implement your code as above, without much luck. I have an object called Service Contracts, quite simply, when a checkbox on the detail is checked, I wish for the record to be automatically sent for approval. I have done the approval process - but didnt realise manual submission was req! Any help would be much apprecaited. Thanks in advance Hi Jeff,

Perhaps one of the PMs will pick up you questions. Not that I’ve heard of but you may want to post it to the Salesforce.com message board. Perhaps one of the PMs will pick up you questions.
