Hi, Jim.

Statuses, constraints, etc. default to the longer names when added to a report. I've had success with removing the "enum" lines via the text mode editor. In this case:

displayname=taskConstraint

linkedname=direct

namekey=taskConstraint

querysort=taskConstraint

textmode=true

valuefield=taskConstraint

valueformat=val

To test it, I removed the 3 text mode lines that reference "enum", and my view returned the abbreviation instead.

I hope that helps.
