I use following text mode to display download URL in task report. I guess to have an icon instead, the download URL would have to be saved first into a field. I'm not sure if that's an option. 
I think that the fact that document to task relation is many to one is a complication here. That's why below you have list of URLs.

displayname=Supporting Documents
listdelimiter=<br>
listmethod=nested(documents).lists
textmode=true
type=iterate
valueexpression=CONCAT({name}," - https://bain.my.workfront.com/internal/document/download?versionID=",{currentVersionID},"&ID=",{ID})
valueformat=HTML

Thank you @Rafal_Bainie , it works as creating of link. Besides looking any idea of text mode, to make visible of icons as attachment.

I appreciate your sharing and worthy too.

 

Have a nice day!

no problem, Kudos should go to someone from the community from whom I did pick this up. Sadly I don't remember where I did found that.
Due to above mentioned relation problem I don't think that modifying list to set of icons will be possible. I don't know how to do that, I did try couple of times, but I failed

Hi, I'm curious what you're wanting to pull in as task/issue icons? Wouldn't they just be URLs? Or are you wanting to just see any documents associated with the task/issue? If the latter is the case, you can add a column to your report with this text mode:

displayname=Documents
listdelimiter=<br>
listmethod=nested(documents).lists
textmode=true
type=iterate
valueexpression=CONCAT({name},".",{currentVersion}.{ext})
valueformat=HTML

Sorry to hop in on this thread with more questions, but you all have ALMOST exactly what I've been trying to figure out.

 

Between you ( @Madalyn_Destafney )and @Rafal_Bainie  I've got the two components of what I'm looking for. I just want to put them together. I wonder if there is a way to only display the name of the file (or list of names in a project report column), but it's hyperlinked to either download or open the document, rather than the whole URL. That gets to taking up a lot of real estate when there are multiple documents on a project. This would by my ideal world but I'm not having luck with it. Any ideas?

Hi Megan, so you have columns you want and want to see the info in 1 column, correct? You can share columns in text mode of your report columns to combine columns. 
Here is documentation on how to do this (I prefer sharing columns with a line break, that is in this article too). It is simple to do and a game changer for reports : )
