Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am using Approval workflow to automate add a tag to trigger the flow script. I need to get the requester's id to send the file to the correct location. When the file requesting approval is owned by the requester I can use %o to do that. But when the file is owned by others shared with the requester, I have no means to get the requester's ID. I tried the %a but it is the approver's ID in stead of the requester. Is their a way to get the id of the requester?
Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
A new wildcat to represent the current requester of the file instead of the original owner that share the file.
Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.
%o can auto detect whether the file is shared and act on the correct id.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the existing %o and %a wildcards are resolved in the workflow_script app, then follow the Approval workflow context to identify the current requester for a file shared by someone else. Done means a new wildcard returns that requester’s ID without changing the existing owner or approver behavior.
