How to change the project document link to task level document link in a Workfront task level report?

Instead of providing project document URL in user's dashboard, need to provide task document URL so that user can update relevant task document .

Workfront

OK this is API 101.

"DE:" means "data extension" and is a prefix for custom fields.
on a task report the ID of the task is {ID}
To link to the task's documents use
valueexpression=CONCAT("https://domain.my.workfront.com/workfront/task/",{ID},"/documents")

Can you provide more context?

What field/column are you using?
Which link?

Note that "documents" is a collection; there is no single "task document"

This is the URL used to pull task document in the report, however this URL isn't working.Need to know how can we fetch document attached on a task on task level report?

valueexpression=CONCAT("https://domain.my.workfront.com/workfront/task/",{taskID},"documents")
valueformat=HTML
displayname=Task Documents
shortview=true

How to include the taskID dynamically on the URL so that the task level documents are fetched on report?

https://domain.my.workfront.com/workfront/task/{DE:taskID}/documents
