Do Workfront Calculated fields work with Typeahead fields?

Hi,

 

I need the value of a type ahead field that lives at the project level to populate a calculated field at the task level. Is this possible?

 

Project Level = Story Lead (type ahead field.) I need this value to also live on a task under the project. I thought calculated field would be the way to go but it doesn't seem to be working. Can this work? Or is there another solution?

 

Thanks,


Robin

Hi,

 

So I finally asked our implementation consultant (Thanks, @tcraig)

 

The calculation needs to look like this:

 

{project}.{DE:Story Lead:name}
 
So she just added the :name to the end and it worked.

If you can't get it working, try using the same approach as this post:

Add your calculated field to the project level and then reference that field on the task level.
