Exposing project level data on request / issue forms

Idea:   Allow ability to expose project level information on a request or issue form.   We have a need to expose things like dates that allude to key deadlines or even things like key project data when submitting through issues on in process projects.  This would help create much more flexible use of calculated fields and functionality that appears to be essentially there already.

 

Current behavior:   There is already the ability to add a calculated field to a form that reads from the project level, but this simply is just not updated (or calculated) until after the form is submitted.   

 

How could this work?  The idea would be to turn on the dynamic calculations or even simply calculate upon opening of a queue topic form to expose the current values.    The amazing thing is this essentially already works today! Just need to have a calculation upon opening to capture the data from other objects levels!

 

Attached a mocked up sample that shows how a simple {project}. indicator in front of a field will read the project level data, just not until after submission.
