How to get the values under Approval section?
Hi, in ELM 702 version Is there a way to fetch the Approval section details in ELM workitem like the Approver name/ Due date using the java plugins or without plugins?
We are trying to send these data from ELM to other 3rd part system or we are also ok with being able to read these values and create some new attributes custom attributes that can hold these values and using these attributes we will send the data to 3rd party system.
If it is possible is there any link to refer?

Using the plain Java Client Libraries - see https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/10/01/adding-approvals-to-work-items-using-the-plain-java-client-libraries/

Using the EWM Reportable REST API - see https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2022/03/02/ewm-reportable-rest-api/ for examples - there is an example for exactly your use case.

1) We are getting other attributes as follows but not approval descriptor and hence due date
You try to get the information using the OSLC API. The approval data is not exposed in the OSLC API. Please carefully read my answer above.
The EWM Reportable REST API is read only. The only option to update the approval data is using the plain Java Client Libraries. Dee my answer above for details.
