How do you modify an overdue approval if you cannot see it in the approvals tab?
I was subscribed to an approval on a work item that had a due date assigned however I keep getting emails that it's overdue but the approval is not there to change.
I see in the work item history that an approval was set with a due date, but on the "Approvals" tab it's just not listed.
Has anyone run into this or have any tips on how to repair it?
One answer
Hello Daniel,
if you can not see the approval - consider it's removed.
I found a couple of similar defects:
However, they were closed as remind, as problem stopped occurring.
do some update to the work item
Check your server version.
Possibly restart your server.
Keep us informed.
Thanks
