Is there a way to build a report that can find all reports that have a column with a specific displayname (a text mode parameter)?

@KevinMei - you can add this column to a Report Report to see the columns used for it's view. I'm not great at exist statements for filtering so not sure if there is a way to do it with filters. 

 

displayname=View Definition
textmode=true
valuefield=view:definition
valueformat=html
width=200

That works! Thank you!

When I exported the results to Excel, the data of the View Definition column did NOT export. Does it export for you?

Hi Kevin, 

 

if you are trying to find the reports a field is on you can go into Setup > Custom Forms > Fields

then filter on the fields you want and in the View add the Column Reports under Parameter.
