I notice the comments could be formatted as a Json dictionary so does this needs special handling.

The reason I ask Is I keep getting exception that hang my workflow and impede myprogress

Alternatively do I "Insert a Reference" to capture current or all approver comments.

I did a query list Workflow Task in the end and used the GUID = ApproveTaskId . The comments appear to come back in a collectication var with a single entry.

I also struggled with the list lookup method you described in your first post. Turns out, the task field you want to store in a variable is called "Comments", not "Approver Comments".

However, when configuring the Set a variable action, you'll notice there is no "Comments" field in the drop down.

To get round this, publish the workflow, run it so it creates the task at least once and then open your workflow in the designer. You'll notice the "Comments" field now appears on that same action.
