Do Workfront Calculated fields work with Typeahead fields?

[Rscofidio]

Hi,

I need the value of a type ahead field that lives at the project level to populate a calculated field at the task level. Is this possible?

Project Level = Story Lead (type ahead field.) I need this value to also live on a task under the project. I thought calculated field would be the way to go but it doesn't seem to be working. Can this work? Or is there another solution?

Thanks,

Robin

If you can't get it working, try using the same approach as this post:

Add your calculated field to the project level and then reference that field on the task level.

Hi,

So I finally asked our implementation consultant (Thanks, @TCraig)

The calculation needs to look like this:

{project}.{DE:Story Lead:name}

So she just added the :name to the end and it worked.
