When filtering by Project category on a Task report, if there are multiple custom forms attached to the Project, only the first custom form (category) is considered during filtering.
The recommendation from Workfront Support is to use Category:ID for the filter, but this only looks at custom forms attached to the task. There currently isn't a way to look at all custom forms at the Project level for a filter on a Task level report. We use custom forms heavily and would really like to have the option to include all project custom forms when filtering a Task report.
