Symptoms

When a Proxy user approvers a notification (using switch user proxy functionality) the action history shows the original approver not the proxy approver.


The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:

1. Submit a self service transaction for approval.
2. Notification goes to approver.
3. A proxy user login to the application and using Switch User functionality, switches to approver.
   And Approves the notification.
3. Transaction gets committed.
4. Check the Action History of the transaction  - Shows the Original approver not the Proxy Approver.

Example:
   1. Employee-1 Submits a transaction for Approver-1's approval.
   2. Approver-1 has granted Proxy user (Proxy User-1) access to worklists.
   3. Proxy user (in this case Proxy User-1 ) login to the system
       Switches to User:  Approver-1
       Opens the notification and approves
      Transaction gets committed.
    4. Check the Notification history of the Original transaction (Final approver shows Approver-1 expecting to see Proxy User-1 ).
