Access Task Fields from Project Custom Field

Avatar

Level 6

Is it possible to create a custom field that lists all of a project's task statuses? If not, what would be the best way to display this information in a field that would be readable by Fusion.

Hi,

 

No, i'm afraid that this isn't possible. Tasks are classed as a collection on the project object (since a project can have multiple tasks) and it's not possible to pull the values from every task into a single field.

 

If the desired outcome is to pass all of the task statuses on a given project to Fusion, is there a reason why you wouldn't just use Fusion to read the tasks and retrieve the statuses?

 

Best Regards,

Rich.

I am trying to create a scenario to auto close projects and I am trying to make the initial filter better so I am not pulling hundreds of bundles in the first search, but I guess this cannot be avoided.
