How to default the values of a custom field at project level to a custom field in task level? Or is there a way I can extract the value of a project level custom field on task level external look up field, in the Base URL search parameter?

Hello,

 

The easiest approach would be to use a calculated field here.

{project}.{DE:<customFieldName>}

 

You are also able to get this reference into an external lookup field. Here you will have the disadvantage, that the external lookup field is a dropdown select field which always requires an initial choice.

 

Base API URL

https://yourinstance.workfront.adobe.com/attask/api/v19.0/TASK/search?ID={ID}&fields=project:DE:<customFieldName>

 

JSON Path

$.data[*].project["DE:<customFieldName>"]

 

 

Regards

Lars
