Showing task form field data in a project report

Hi,

I have a project report where I want to add some columns that contain data from task forms.  For 5 different milestones we have a task form where they may click some options if a task is delayed.  I’m having trouble getting that displayed in a project report.

Any help on text mode syntax is appreciated.  This is what I tried but does not seem to be working. 

listdelimiter=<div>
listmethod=nested(tasks).lists
namekey=Survey Design Barriers
valuefield=Survey Design Barriers
valueformat=customDataLabelsAsString

 

Thanks

Heather

Hi @HeatherSc2 
Have you tried replacing "customDataLabelsAsString” with “HTML” ?

Also - even though I do like having the ability to iterate, what your statement will do is for every project it will go the all of the project’s tasks and write out the value of Survey Design Barriers whenever there is one

#1 you probably want something like

listdelimiter=<div>
listmethod=nested(tasks).lists
valueexpression=IF(ISBLANK({DE:Survey Design Barriers}),"",{name}+": "+{DE:Survey Design Barriers})
valueformat=HTML

so you get a list of task name: value of Survey Design Barrier and otherwise an empty <div>

#2 if your projects have only a dozen tasks or fewer, no problem. 
But if you have a large number of tasks I’d expect this report to be slow - as it has to churn through a lot of task objects.

If you have Fusion, I’d try to listen to those fields that signify a delay, and then update a field on the project.

I think you would want to get the more correct syntax in your valuefield line. You can steal this from any task report. So if you create a task report, and pull in your Survey Design Barriers field, and then convert to text mode, steal the valuefield line from there. e.g. if the valuefield line says “valuefield={DE:Survey Design Barriers}” -- copy this line over to your project report column.

    Hi,

    Thanks. I did copy the field and format from a task report that I made and it had it in that same format.  I can try adding the DE: to see if that works but I thought since I was using what was shown in text mode of task field that it would be correct.

    oh interesting -- yes, I see the same on my side. If that doesn’t work, try “valueexpression={DE:Survey Design Barriers}” as well
