How to populate document library column with Task info ?

Implemented a simple approval workflow for a document library.
(a) Requester to put in document --> (b)Approver to approve/reject the document 

 

I am using SharePoint Designer (Approval - SharePoint 2010)

 

How to populate the document library columns with the task info as below ?

 

Document library columnTask Info
Approval CommentsComments
Approved ByApprover
Approval DateDate of Approver

 

Appreciate for the detailed steps.
Thank you.

        In the designer, once your task gets completed you would get the task id as outcome. Based on this ID you can filter out and get column vaues from task list which you can update in the doc library.

      You have to extract those values from the Task that is created as part of the approval process done in the workflow
