Attribute References
- Robert Alexander Marshall
Overview
While event references provide context-sensitive value references to the current event, you will sometimes need to access more specific information relating to the current state – attribute references allow you to do this.
For example, in a multi-review state, you might want to access information about each of the reviews, or a specific review, not just the most recently updated review.
A similar situation might arise for tasks, where you might want information about more than one task in an event that relates to a single task (or an event that does not relate to tasks at all).
Approval (content review) attributes
You can access attributes from any content review associated with the current workflow state by using a value reference in the form
@ApprovalName > AttributeName@
For example, if you wanted the comment of the last approver of the "Technical" content review, use
@Technical > approvalcomment@
Attribute Name | Type | Event | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
|
| all events | A comma-separated list of users who have been assigned to the content review |
|
| all events except approval events
For these events use @assignee@ without ApprovalName | The username for the user that was assigned or unassigned in the related event |
|
| all events | A comma-separated list of users who Approved the content review |
|
| all events | A comma-separated list of users who Rejected the content review |
|
| all events | A comma-separated list of users who are assigned to the content review, but haven't yet Approved or Rejected it |
|
| all events | The note associated with the most recent Approval of the content review |
The @Approval Name>assignee@ attribute reference is not supported for approval events

Triggers using these events need to reference the named approval and use the @approvalassignees@ event reference in the action macro if the assigned reviewer is required for the action
{trigger:pageapprovalassigned|approval=Review}
{remove-restriction:type=edit|user=@approvalassignees@}
{trigger}
