I had reason this past week to work with Approval Processes in Apex. I guess I had never thought about it too deeply, but I was surprised to learn that these objects are all second-class objects. If you’re not familiar with the Approval Process architecture, there are five main objects: ProcessInstance represents an end-to-end approval process; ProcessInstanceWorkItem represents a user’s
