I currently have a report which tells me all current active projects for designers at a glance. I wanted to add a column on my report that shows the current task within the project. I can't seem to figure this out. Has anyone successfully done this?

Now this won't show the current Designer task, but this would show the Current task (or tasks if you have parallel paths in your plan)

displayname=Current Task(s)

listdelimiter=<br>

listmethod=nested(tasks).lists

textmode=true

type=iterate

valueexpression=IF({numberOfChildren}>0,"",IF(ISBLANK({handoffDate}),"",IF(ISBLANK({actualCompletionDate}),{name},"")))

valueformat=HTML

Excellent answer, Anthony: that fits how I read Megan's question.

Megan, if Anthony's "Designer Task" wrinkle is of interest, you could either add another if statement that checks whether:

- the task name (or template task name, if you use those) matches a known phrase such as "Designer"

or

- the task (or template task, similarly) is assigned to a known Job Role such as "Designer"

and (either way) then only show the name if that is the case.

Anthony/Doug, funny enough we actually had that exact use case for our designers at one point.

Megan - this was the value expression we used, which is identical to Anthony's formula + Doug's suggestion, except instead of nesting in another IF statement, we added in an "and" condition (syntax is just "&&"). I try to use "and" (&&) and "or" (||) conditions whenever possible instead of nested IF statements because they (usually) help keep the formula shorter and easier to read (plus less chance of missing a closed parenthesis). Just putting this all out here in case someone else needs it in the future.

valueexpression=IF({numberOfChildren}>0,"",IF(ISBLANK({handoffDate}),"",IF(ISBLANK({actualCompletionDate})&&{roleID}=YOURROLEIDHERE,{name},"")))

---------------------

You can also use Role Name by switching {roleID} with {role}.{name} and put the name in parentheses where YOURROLEIDHERE is in the formula. So if your role was "Designer", it would look like {role}.{name}="Designer"

Not sure how it would handle a task that is assigned to someone with a secondary role of "Designer" though. I think Role ID only reads the primary role.
