Goal

Is there a way to enable an AP invoice distribution level Descriptive Flexfield (DFF) to show up in the workflow notification, give the approver the ability to update the value on the notification, and have the value be saved in the invoice.

We have added the DFF at the AP invoice distribution level - but not sure how to make it editable via workflow.

Steps
From Payables responsibility navigate to Invoices > Entry > Invoices
1. Create invoice with DFF data at the invoice distribution level.
2. Initiate approval.
Navigate to Workflow > Worklist
3. Open worklist notification.
4. Select the View Additional Invoice Details link.
5. Go to section "Lines".
6. Select the "Show" link.
7. Need to see invoice DFFs here and be able to update them.
