If I understand, you need: - Create an Issue Report where the issues exist in multiple projects - Was the project that the issue is a pat of approved? - The way you know if a project was approved is that the project was set to "Planning : Pending Approval", which triggers a project-level approval process. - Once approved, and the project status is now "Approved", this would indicate the approval was complete. In an issue report, I think this gives you what you need: project:approvalProcessID_Mod=notblank (The project has an approval process to begin with) project:currentApprovalStepID_Mod=isblank (The project doesn't currently have any approval steps pending) project:approvalCompletionDate_Mod=notnull (An approval process on the project was completed) If this doesn't get you what you need, you might want to look at a project-level calculated field to capture the "Approved" state. Here is some code that might get you moving in that direction: IF(Status='INP',IF(ISBLANK({DE:Custom Field}),$$NOW,{DE:Custom Field}),{DE:Custom Field}) This is a calculated field on a custom form (labeled "DE: Custom Field") that enables you to capture the timestamp of the change to INP (works for other statuses, too). Status timestamp custom field can then be reported on normally. Note that if your status changes to INP, then another status, then back to INP, only the timestamp of the first change to INP will be captured.
