Hiya Chris, While that's the theory, we worked to build some documentation around a way around this. You can use EXISTS in a report to bounce further than the 2 object 'limit', though this only applies on filters:

For a column the workaround I've used is to use a custom form that references the data on the object above. IE: For the data on a program, you can access it via a project report, but not on an hours report. So, you create a project custom form, add a calculated field that references the program data (IE: Program.Custom Field) then you can reference the data, as it's now stored at the project level. Our remote consulting team is fantastic when it comes to getting text mode or calculations to work, so I'd definitely reach out to your Account Executive to ensure you have a couple hours, and then you can schedule some time with them if you need it. Good luck! Dustin Martin Assigned Support Engineer Workfront
