Use the "Collect Data from User" action to create and assign a task to a user that prompts them for data. Among other things, I’ve used it to prompt a user to approve or reject a request and enter some comments.
This action takes the form of:
Collect data از this user (Output to متغیر: collect1)
Clicking on data pulls up a series of dialog boxes where you specify what data the user should provide when completing the task and this user آشکار است.
The output part (متغیر: collect1) saves the ID of the task. You use this in your workflow to extract the user’s actual response via the "Compare any data source" condition.
That condition shows as
If میدان equals ارزش
Click on میدان and then the f(X) icon and it pulls up another dialog box. Use this generalized dialog box to to tell SPD two things;
1. What is the list and column whose value you want to compare.
2. How should the workflow engine locate the specific row in that list?
To do this:
- Change the "Source" dropdown to point at the correct task list. Note that the dialog box expands to show a "Find the List Item" بخش.
- In the Lookup Details field dropdown, select the name of the field whose value you want (this maps to what you called in the Collect data dialog box from above).
- In the "Find the List Item" بخش, select "Tasks:شناسایی" in the Field dropdown.
- In the value field, click on the f(X). This opens yet another dialog box.
- Change the source "Workflow Data"
- Select the workflow variable that matches to the "Output to Variable" from the Collect data action.
- Click OK/OK and you’re done.
It looks like this for me:
در این مرحله, you can now use that value in your workflow as required.
Additional Notes:
As a brief aside, I always create an appropriately named workflow variable of type "List Item ID" and use that instead of the auto-generated "collect1".
This "compare any data source" dialog set is used in several different places in SPD and is well worth mastering.

I have same problem as samuel.
PS: I experince this problem in Turkish language Sharepoint application for all users. اما, in English application there is no such issue.
Could you pls inform me about this problem and your solution.

I want to add two columns from an existing form library into "Collect data from user" action rather than adding a new column so that when the approver opens the "Collect data from user" نوع محتوا, he should be able to see those two column values from existing form library in to that "Collect data from user" content type only. Is that possible?
I have extracted the data entered by the user, but I am having trouble updating the task with a meaningful name. Using SharePoint designer, the name is always the same, I want it to contain the name of the document being reviewed. I even added an additional field to the task list to hold this, but I don’t know how to get it populated with the name of the document I am running the workflow on. The built in workflow does this automatically (but it does not do the other things I need)
The works great for most users, but some users receive an email with "?????" as the value selected. This should be impossible, because I selected "Approved" as the default selection.
I have tested this workflow through A virtual PC by emulating several users who had this problem (I signed into MOSS 2007 as the User with the problem). When I check the assigned tasks for that user, I open and select Approve/Declined and then Complete Task. This will cause the "?????" email issue. (See above)
توجه: I am correctly assigning the values to a variable named "List Item ID" and correctly referencing it in the email.
