Hi,
Down at the TaskDefinition:Approval which is the lowest level of all the approval workflows you will find the following, this controls what is shown as the workItem description:
<WorkItemDescription>
            <select>
              <ref>description</ref>
              <message name='UI_APPR_XML_ACCOUNT'>
                <ref>accountId</ref>
              </message>
            </select>
</WorkItemDescription>If you don't pass a value for 'description' then the standard message, "Approve User xxx" is shown.
You can call MultiApproval passing description in this fashion, look for the description argument
<Action id='2' name='Invalid User Record Requires Approval' process='Configuration:Multi Approval'>
          <ReportTitle>
            <s>Invalid User Record Requires Approval</s>
          </ReportTitle>
          <Argument name='request'>
            <ref>approvals.request</ref>
          </Argument>
          <Argument name='description'>
            <ref>approvals.description</ref>
          </Argument>
          <Argument name='approverObjects'>
            <ref>approverObjects</ref>
          </Argument>
          <Argument name='approvalTemplate'>
            <ref>approvals.approvalTemplate</ref>
          </Argument>
          <Argument name='approvalForm'>
            <ref>approvals.approvalForm</ref>
          </Argument>
          <Argument name='approvals'>
            <ref>approvals</ref>
          </Argument>
          <Argument name='approvers'>
            <ref>approvals.approvers</ref>
          </Argument>
          <Argument name='itemType'>
            <ref>approvals.itemType</ref>
          </Argument>
          <Argument name='timeout' value='0'/>
          <Argument name='objectType'>
            <ref>approvals.objectType</ref>
          </Argument>
          <Argument name='visibleVariables'>
            <ref>user</ref>
          </Argument>
          <Argument name='editableVariables'>
            <ref>user</ref>
          </Argument>
          <Return from='approved' to='approved'/>
          <Return from='approvals' to='approvals'/>
        </Action>HTH,
Cheers
