EXISTS filter on a journal entry report

Hi,

I have used EXISTS filters on various objects within Workfront reporting. 

I am wondering if it is possible to use an EXISTS filter on a journal entry report. I am trying to track changes on a specific field within projects where a specific task exists within projects. I am not sure if this is possible within a journal entry report.

this seems to be possible.

 

Are you maybe getting stuck on your linking line? (in the documentation linked to below, they refer to a linking field:
https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/workfront/using/reporting/reports/text-mode/create-complex-text-mode-filters-using-exists-statements )

 

If so -- at a guess -- you can probably use "EXISTS:a:projectID=FIELD:projectID"

Hi Skye,

I was looking at that. I am testing this filter text mode at the moment on a Journal Entry report:
EXISTS:a:$$EXISTSMOD=CONTAINS

EXISTS:a:$$OBJCODE=TASK

EXISTS:a:name=Task name I am looking for in projects

EXISTS:a:projectID=FIELD:ID

fieldname=status

fieldname_Mod-cieq

obObjCode_Mod=isblank

 

The goal is to track project level status changes where those tasks live in the projects.

Per my previous reply, the issue is with the fourth line of your code block (your linking line) -- kindly swap it out for the line I suggested please and let me know if that works better.
