Approval history on the 'task' record is not populated when approvals are manually created or from a script Description Build information: Paris, Quebec NewYork

Issue Description: Approval history on the 'task' record is not populated when approvals are manually created from a script

Steps to Reproduce

In OOB Quebec instance: 1. Create a task record, lets say 'incident' 2. Go to script background and run the script:

var task = new GlideRecord('task'); task.get(' ');

var approval = new GlideRecord('sysapproval_approver'); approval.initialize(); approval.source_table = "sn_compliance_policy_exception"; approval.document_id = task.sys_id; approval.sysapproval = task.sys_id; approval.approver = '6816f79cc0a8016401c5a33be04be441'; approval.expected_start = new GlideDateTime(); //approval.due_date = pe.valid_to; approval.state = 'requested'; approval.approval_source = "ui.desktop"; // approval.comments = ''; approval.insert();

3. Notice the 'approval history' column for the task record and see that it is empty 4. Repeat the same steps in OOB Newyork and notice that the approval history is populated

Expected behavior Approval history column should be populated

Actual behavior Approval history column isn't populated
