We are excited about this feature being added, but finding issue converting all out custom fields to use custom name fields due to a limitation with reports.


The two issues are:

1) Using the API name as the default "display name" in a column. This requires us to add a custom display name for every use of a custom field in a report/view. This sinks the utility of this feature for us.

2) Searching internally in Workfront while building a report uses the API name. This one is less of an issue, but still creates a frustrating experience as you can only find "targetPubDate" for example by searching "tar..." instead of "Date" (which would work if it searched the label "Target Publication Date")


I posted this idea here:
