How to make a task field Editable on a View?

I added this column to my VIEW. It displays the user assigned to field of the specified task. 1) How can I get it to display the assigned to name and not the assigned to ID? 2) How can i get it to be editable from the view and not have to open each project to change this task assignment. displayname=Basic Tab listdelimiter= listmethod=nested(tasks).lists textmode=true type=iterate valueexpression=IF(CONTAINS("Basic tabs set up",{name}), {assignedToID}) valueformat=HTML Thanks, Benetta Perry APS

1) try {assignedTo}.{name} (this answer came from Narayan's wf-pro.com site "https://wf-pro.com/textmode/text-mode-views-collections/" title="https://wf-pro.com/textmode/text-mode-views-collections/">https://wf-pro.com/textmode/text-mode-views-collections/ ) 2) Collections are not editable. I recommend you use a different report to achieve this. For example, you could create a task report filtering for task names that contain "basic tabs set up" and get a report where the assigned to name is an editable field. -skye

Skye, Thanks - got the name showing. I have a report to view and edit these - was trying to get the manager to see where they might have missed the assignment - without having to run a different report. The field is shown on the view - so at least we can see quickly when that assignment is forgotten. Too bad collections are not editable in a view - this would be very very convenient. Thanks.
