Link directly to custom form on any object

Hi Everyone! Here is the information about how to link directly to a custom form that I was discussing at the user group last week. First create a calculated field on a custom form that you would like to reference. Paste this code into the calculation field: CONCAT("https://{your domain}.my.workfront.com","/","issue/view?ID=",ID,"&activeTab=form-customdata") The custom form I am referencing is stored at the Issue object level, you will need to change issue to project or task if you are trying to reference one of those objects. Then on any report add this text mode field. case.0.comparison.icon=false case.0.comparison.leftmethod=DE:Element custom form link case.0.comparison.lefttext=DE:Element custom form link case.0.comparison.operator=cicontains case.0.comparison.operatortype=string case.0.comparison.righttext=https: case.0.comparison.truetext=View element specs displayname=Element Specs link.isnewwindow=true link.url=customDataLabelsAsString(Element custom form link) linkedname=direct namekey=Element custom form link querysort=Element custom form link styledef.case.0.comparison.icon=false styledef.case.0.comparison.leftmethod=DE:Element custom form link styledef.case.0.comparison.lefttext=DE:Element custom form link styledef.case.0.comparison.operator=cicontains styledef.case.0.comparison.operatortype=string styledef.case.0.comparison.righttext=https: styledef.case.0.comparison.truetext=View Form textmode=true valuefield=Element custom form link valueformat=customDataLabelsAsString width=150 Some additional notes. -The calculated field on my custom form is called "Element custom form link". The code for text mode reporting references this field name (case sensitive). So you'll need to replace "Element custom form link" with the name of your custom field. - You can also use this same method to reference a custom tab (dashboard) on any object. My use case is that I want to direct a user to a specific dashboard that is a custom tab on a project. I can help you with that if you'd like to see it. Thanks, Matt Matthew Preston

@mattpreston522 with the latest updates to Workfront does this calculated field still work?
