I am pretty much brand new at this.
I began by copying a work item report from "https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/articles/217521437-Report-Combined-Task-and-Issue-View-and-Grouping">

My team works on assigned tasks and issues, but I have had difficulty showing a report that includes both and is correctly sorted. Our issues are primarily created under parent tasks (these are the issues of concern in my post).
Our tasks contain a custom form with a numerical custom field (called CCB Rank) that I want to use to sort the combination of tasks and issues (which do not have the form or CCB Rank field).
I want to sort the tasks by this field and the issues by the field in their parent tasks, resulting in a sorted list of tasks interspersed with issues.
I am currently having two problems getting this to work:
1. I can't seem to use valueexpression to print the desired value when using an IF statement.
Here is my expression (0 to be filled in with the answer from #2):
valueexpression=IF(ISBLANK({DE:task:CCB Rank}),0,DE:task:CCB Rank)
I have tried using the valuefield variable in another test column and this works fine, so I'm pretty confused.
For reference, the text for the entire column is:
displayname=
linkedname=task
namekey=view.relatedcolumn
namekeyargkey.0=task
namekeyargkey.1=CCB Rank
textmode=true
valueexpression=IF(ISBLANK({DE:task:CCB Rank}),0,DE:task:CCB Rank)
valueformat=customDataLabelsAsString
2. I can't figure out how to find the field in the parent task of an issue.
I was trying things like:
issue:sourceTask:CCB Rank
issue:sourceTask:task:CCB Rank
issue:sourceTask:DE:task:CCB Rank
Issue:source:task:CCB Rank
Any help is greatly appreciated! Richard Fabini
