It doesn't strictly answer your question, but since we don't always get what we want in Workfront....
if you use this text mode in document report:

listdelimiter=<hr> listmethod=nested(folders).lists name=All folders textmode=true type=iterate valueexpression=CONCAT({ID}," - ",{name}) valueformat=HTML

you will get a field that concatenates both folder(s) ID and name in a report cell.

Hope this helps

Hello,

 

depending on what you are expecting, but using a calculated field and 

 

{ID} for the documentID, or {docObjCode} for the document object type will 

 

I guess that you want something like the filetype or the extension, so you could also try

{currentVersion}.{fileType}
{currentVersion}.{ext}

Thanks Lars.

You are absolutely right. I took a wrong turn somewhere in the answer to the question.

 

I will think about a solution, but do not have any idea yet.

 

Sorry for the moment.

Lars
