I am trying to write this report for myself and I am having issues getting my name to populate in the project owner filter. It populates in the old reporting but not in the new. Is there something I am doing wrong?
To start with, you should be using the wildcard "$$USER.ID". This way anyone can use the filter and it will display their stuff and not just your stuff.
What are you referring to when you say "old reporting" and "new reporting"? The reporting canvas?
