&lt;p&gt;Requirement&lt;br /&gt;A workflow&amp;nbsp;used to obtain approval when a new Infopath form is submitted.&amp;nbsp; Rather than email the requester with the outcome of the approval I want to create a simple task&amp;nbsp;for them to acknowledge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Example:&lt;br /&gt;- Leave Request Form is submitted.&lt;br /&gt;- Workflow uses &amp;#39;Start Approval&amp;#39;&amp;nbsp;sent to Manager to Approve/Reject and make&amp;nbsp;comments.&amp;nbsp; This completes the main Approval process.&lt;br /&gt;- A new task then created for the original requester to see the outcome and acknowledge&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Problem:&lt;br /&gt;- How to&amp;nbsp;make the&amp;nbsp;Comments or&amp;nbsp;ConsolidatedComments that were collected in the main approval task visible to second, acknowledgement task.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ve tried to use Workflow variables to store the comments during the approval part of the workflow but cannot access thes from the acknowledgment task (created using &amp;#39;Assign To-Do Task&amp;#39;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Any guidance will be gratefully received.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
