Reference Task's collection in project report

Is it possible to reference a task's collection in a project report? Yes I know that I can just make a task report for this but I would like to get to know the syntax and what the limitations are before creating a whole new report.

    Lawson02, yes, you can do this but you'll need to do textmode.  This link, https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/workfront/using/reporting/reports/text-mode/reference-collections-report, gives a good example of the format to show tasks in a project report like you need.

      Yes I read this article, do I reference a task's collection using nested(tasks:objectcategories).list?

        Lawson, here's a sample from my environment we use to help.  This is using a valueexpression but should give you an idea on what the syntax looks like.

         

        Collection Example:  Show only Development milestone tasks in format “task name – task status”

        displayname=Development

        valueformat=HTML

        listdelimiter=<p>

        textmode=true

        valueexpression=IF({milestone}.{name}="Development",CONCAT({name}," - ",{progressStatus}))

        type=iterate

        listmethod=nested(tasks).lists
