    Hi,

    you meant last task approved by users? If Yes you can try below code

    Note : below code only check last task if want to check all you can loop through by list.

    List<HistoryItem> historyList = session.getHistory(item.getWorkflow());

      int listSize = historyList.size();

      // log.info("listSize = {}", listSize);

      HistoryItem lastItem = historyList.get(listSize - 1);

      String lastComment = lastItem.getComment();

      String lastAction = lastItem.getAction();

      String lastUser = lastItem.getUserId();

    You can search the AEM Workflow API -- com.adobe.granite.workflow.exec ("The Adobe AEM Quickstart and Web Application.")

    Hi Scott,

    I think, we can read all the properties of transitions. For example below property can be read using JCR Node API

    Node n =  session.getSession().getNode(lastItem.getWorkItem().getId());

    Below is example of process step which simply add all history task in DB in form of json

    I tested this code and it did report whom approved the workflow --

    //Gets the User from approves the payload

    private String getUserWhomApproved(WorkflowSession wfsession,WorkItem item)

    {

    try{

    List<HistoryItem> historyList = wfsession.getHistory(item.getWorkflow());

      int listSize = historyList.size();

      // log.info("listSize = {}", listSize);

      HistoryItem lastItem = historyList.get(listSize - 1);

      String lastComment = lastItem.getComment();

      String lastAction = lastItem.getAction();

      String lastUser = lastItem.getUserId();

      return lastUser;

    }

       

        catch (Exception e)

        {

        e.printStackTrace()  ;

        }

      return "error  - no user" ;

     

    }
