milestone name for parent task

Is there a way to display, in a Task report, the milestone name for the task's parent task?

 

I've been playing around with Text Mode (and looking at the API Explorer) but can't seem to get my syntax right.

 

Thanks.

Ah... figured it out.  I saw that Parent > Milestone ID was an available field in the report, so I modified its Text Mode to the following:

 

displayname= linkedname=parent namekey=view.relatedcolumn namekeyargkey.0=parent namekeyargkey.1=milestone namekeyargkey.2=name querysort=parent:milestone:name textmode=true valuefield=parent:milestone:name valueformat=HTML

can you mention what you've tried? Looking at the API explorer it feels like parent:milestone:name should have worked? (i.e. look up task, and look in the reference tab to see how to reference the parent, and then click on the parent link and look in the reference tab how to reference the milestone, then click on the milestone link and look in the reference tab to see how to reference the name of the milestone. Then string everything together using colons or periods/parens, depending on what kind of text mode you are building)

I've tried both valuefield=parent:milestone:name and valueexpression={parent}.{milestone}.{name}, but neither gives a result.

 

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
