Filter project based on convertedOpTask?

I'm trying to create a report of projects that contain a particular type of task, but did not originate as a request to a specific queue. The reason is to archive items that are missed because the requests didn't follow the standard process. Example: Currently a report of issues and matching projects is used to round up documents to archive. Projects have been found that have documents needing archived, but they did not use the type of issue identified in the current report. Need to create a report (task or project) of objects where task "submit materials" is present and the original issue is NOT of the expected type. I can't seem to figure out any way to filter on anything less specific that convertedOpTask name, date, or originator ID. Is this a hopeless cause? Brian McKinley

Ehm...I'd hoped for better news, but I now agree that this one is essentially hopeless, Brian. If I'm following, you're trying to find Projects that meet two conditions: a specific Task ("submit materials") is present, and the Project's originating Issue did not have the expected Category ID on it (i.e. was raised as the wrong type) To create a Project report that matches the first condition, I suggest adding a textmode filter like this: tasks:name=submit materials tasks:name_Mod=cicontains To further restrict those Projects to only those that whose originating Issue does not match the expected Category (e.g. "Name Of Expected Category"), I WOULD have suggested adding additional textmode to the filter similar to this: convertedOpTaskID_Mod=notnull convertedOpTask:category=Name Of Expected Category convertedOpTask:category:name_Mod=eq However, convertedOpTaskID is only accessible via "https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002672154-Deprecating-Customer-Use-of-API-Internal">api-unsupported (meaning the standard Workfront reports can't get at it), and even through api-unsupported, convertedOpTask:category:name (and even convertedOpTask:categoryID) do not support Searching (meaning even it would be very tricky, even using our "http://store.atappstore.com/product/magic-reports/">Magic Reports solution). Although small consolation, I at least encourage you to stop banging your head against the wall on this one. Regards, Doug Doug Den Hoed - AtAppStore Got Skills?

Thanks. It's at least good to know that the reason I can't solve it is that it isn't solvable. I'll work up a second-best solution and people will just have to muddle through that a bit. Brian McKinley
