Where does the "Rejection Reason" go?
With a workflow enabled, if a person submits a page with changes and someone rejects it - and provides a reason - that reason does not seem to go anywhere.
That is, no email will be sent back to the person who submitted the change with the reason in it - nor can you see the reason for the rejection within the history of the page.
Am I missing something? Is this rejection reason going into a black hole? Something about this seems half-baked.
Chris.

I read that this was fixed in 5.0. My company upgraded to 5.0 but I still don't see the rejection reason anywhere! Any tips or advice?
Hi,
The problem is fixed in Siteifnity 5.0 and Sitefinity 5.1. For your convenience I have recorded a sample video demonstration. The rejected reason can be found inside the content of the page if you click Why rejected?.

How can this "rejection" field be accessed through the API? I have a custom workflow in which I would like to add the Rejection Reason in the email that gets sent to the user(s). Please advise!
Hello Jared,
I have prepared a code sample how you can get the reject reason for Dynamic content item.
var providerName = String.Empty; var cultureName = "en"; Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(cultureName); DynamicModuleManager dynamicModuleManager = DynamicModuleManager.GetManager(providerName); Type testType = TypeResolutionService.ResolveType("Telerik.Sitefinity.DynamicTypes.Model.TestModule.Test"); var myCollection = dynamicModuleManager.GetDataItems(testType).Where("Title = \"MyItem\"").FirstOrDefault(); var b = ((IApprovalWorkflowItem)myCollection).GetCurrentApprovalTrackingRecord(null); var rejectedText = b.Note;
