Customizing Workflow and Forms

Question

Hi
I have a Approval Workflow with 3 outcomes: Approve: Revise and Reject. I added another outcome such as Revise. 
I find by default on one Approval Form in the Workflow using SPD. I need to add another Form which will send back the Comments to the Initiator to Revise the form and resend it back to the Approver.
Kindly let me know for any pointers. 
Thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to create an form to get the users’ comments for the initiator approval.
Per my knowledge, it’s by design that we can’t directly modify the approval task form in SharePoint 2013.
As a workaround, you can create a new task content type to apply it to the task process action in SharePoint workflow.
Also, you can try to create a new list to add user information and custom the list form, create a SharePoint 2013 Approval Workflow for this new list to assign the tasks to the corresponding users, then you can get their corresponding users’ comments for
the initiator approval.
For more information, you can refer to:
