Hi Folks,

 

I'm also facing the same problem with insert ProcessInstanceWorkItem:

 

My sample code:

ProcessInstanceWorkItem newPiwi= new ProcessInstanceWorkItem();
newPiwi.ProcessInstanceId = oldPiwi.ProcessInstanceId;
newPiwi.OriginalActorId = oldPiwi.ActorId;
newPiwi.ActorId = myObject.DelegateId__c;

insert newPiwi;

 

 

error:

Required fields are missing: [Current Node, Reminders Sent]

 

Do anyone have any idea on this error? please kindly advise...

Thanks in advance.

Hi vibration/Chrs85 ,

For process Instance work Item , you have to call the approval process manually by apex.

For example : 
Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest req = new Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest();
        req.setSkipEntryCriteria(false);
        req.setSubmitterId(User.Id); // Submitter User Id
        req.setObjectId(record.Id); // Object Id
        
        ProcessInstance processInstances = [SELECT Id,TargetObjectId,Status FROM ProcessInstance WHERE TargetObjectId = :record.id
                                            LIMIT 1];
        System.debug('Process Instance is -------' + processInstances);
                
        List<ProcessInstanceWorkitem> workItems = [SELECT Id,ProcessInstance.TargetObjectId,ProcessInstanceId FROM ProcessInstanceWorkitem 
                                                   WHERE ProcessInstance.TargetObjectId = :record.Id];
        
        System.debug('WorkItems are --------' + workItems);

This way you will get the process instance work items without inserting manually and you will not the error.

Please mark as the best answer if this solves the issue.

Thanks & Regards
