Multi Step Approval Flow - how to capture comments
Hello, I have a flow where a request is made to manager 1, and if approved, it goes to manager 2. I want manager 2, in the approval request he receives, to see the comments of manager 1. ...
- Hey not sure if you’ve figured this out since post is a few days old but what you want to do is add another Get item SharePoint action to get the updated item since when you use the field from the original get it will still have the data from first run.
So just plug in another get and use that steps field in the approval and you should be good.

ChrisWebbTech Thanks for your feedback. I believe your method would have been successful.
I was able to change my flow to have apply to each within the other apply to reaches. Then, the option for comments from different approvals of the flow would appear and I was able to select comments from the first approver and also the second approver.
I believe my issue was my apply to each were not nested within each other.
Your answer did however teach me that it is not possible to update an item and then pull from that item within the same flow, without "getting" the updated item first since Sharepoint will consider only the original field. Thanks for that.
