Creating a Module that closes out pending approval decisions

[OmahaOmaha]

Hi All,  I'm building out a scenario that closes out old active projects. I'm able to close out open tasks and issues, but I'm running into a wall when attempting to close out active approval processes on a project.  Has anyone ever created a module to do this?  I've attempted using a Create a Record module and a Custom API Call module but no luck yet.

You might be able to take one of the project approval actions (approve, reject , recall) by using a Misc Action module:

What does "closing out" mean - did these projects just not get closed due to human error? And the approvals were given but the user(s) didn't click "Approve"?
Then Kristen's approach is short and sweet - you'll just need to distinguish between project/task and issue approval. 

You'll also need to see if there are open issues and close those. 

BUT: these actions impact your issue/task and project completion dates/duration. 

OR, you could create a custom status "Closed/Cleanup" that equates to DED (cancelled): that means no need to close anything the project is iced. That in turn may impact some reporting (that only looks at CPL status.
