I have a custom list for which I want an approval workflow. There is only going to be one stop for the approval - creating an item is a request to a person for a new code to be created.
If I do not turn on content approval, then I get the message:
The workflow could not set content approval status. Enable content moderation for this list and run the workflow again.
When I turn on content approval, then when the users go to the custom list to create an item, they see this message:
Items on this list require content approval. Your submission will not appear in public views until approved by someone with proper rights.
Surely I am missing something obvious. I just want a standard SP 2010 form without warnings to gather info from the user, then to create a workflow task that sends a person an email that they need to approve or reject the request.
The second message is going to cause questions from the users. The person who has to approve the tasks wants to be able to see what requests are awaiting approval vs approved vs rejected.
Is this something that is not doable in SP 2010?
