Add "created" filter to List Pending Approvals

Thank you @rebekah_reveile for ensuring that documentation and behaviour are matching.
Could you please check with this developer if it is easy to include the option to filter on the created attribute similar to filter on the modified attribute? To me it would appear to be similar logic, which is also build for other object types, that will have big impact for us, but will probably be a request that is too specific to get a lot of attention when raising it as an idea in the idea portal. Right now our workaround would be to sort all approvals by created date and then paginate over all pages until we are in the desired range, meaning that our ISC workflows are making unnecessary amounts of API calls and are making more computations which does impact the performance of ISC.

Kind regards,
Angelo

Thanks for your reply, Angelo! We’ll be making updates to the documentation shortly to reflect the current behavior.

Just to make sure your request is in the right place, I’m going to move this comment to the Ideas category, so it can get attention from the right people - but to make sure it doesn’t get lost in the other ideas there, I’m going to introduce you to a few product managers and one of the lead developers for Workflows.

@jennifer_mitchell - Angelo would like “created” to be added to the List Pending Approvals API.

@tburt is the product manager for workflows, and @alex.kaszczuk is one of the lead developers for workflows. They can make sure they understand your use case.

Thank you all very much!

Hi Angelo (et al),

I created a ticket in my team’s backlog to enhance the list approvals endpoint to support filtering by created date the same way we support filtering by modified date. I’m not sure the level of effort (and therefore the timing of when we will get to it), but I have captured the request.

Thanks for the suggestion!

@jennifer_mitchell ,
Any update on this request ?
How we can track the timeline like progress or when this this will get delivered ?

No, Vishal - I do not have a timeline for this enhancement at this time. You might also post an idea in our ideas portal, to help demonstrate demand for this enhancement, which can help our prioritization.

Thank you.
I will update idea portal .
