Hello, I am trying to build an issue report that displays the last update. However, lastUpdateID displays a string of text (e.g.7wlsjdijiwijfldjfoy61892). How do I modify it in text mode to display the actual text?

just take off every occurrence of "ID" and replace it with ":name"

e.g. lastUpdatedByID turns into lastUpdatedBy:name

Hi, if you're looking to pull the last update (comment in Updates feed), you'll want to pull 'Last Note > Note Text' into the report.
