Default Submit for Approval button?

Question

I created a custom object. I have not created any approval processes for this object but for some reason, there’s a Submit for Approval button showing up while viewing a record for this new object.

My other custom objects don’t have this Submit for Approval button.

Anyone know why this button why this button shows up on one custom object, but not others, and NONE have approval processes associated with them?

As a side note, I did copy some fields from the Contract object into my new object using the META data XML in the Force IDE. I just copied the <fields /> tags I needed. I also copied some <layoutSections /> elements form the Contract layout as well. I doubt this has anything to do with it, but I suppose it could.

approval process custom object page layout

I know this is an old question, but I just experienced this issue recently, and I found a solution.

As mentioned in the comments, this button is defined in the Page Layout. All I had to do was edit the page layout file and add this line:

    <excludeButtons>Submit</excludeButtons>

Inside the <Layout> tag.
Hope this helps!
