Task report - cicontains prompt for parent task name

Hi All,

I've got a task report, to which I'd like to add a custom cicontains prompt to filter for only those tasks, whose parent includes the prompted text in the name.

The parent tasks contain months in their names and need to give users a simple prompt to select a month:

I'm using the simple text mode filter of "parent:name=july parent:name_Mod=cicontains", but even though the parent name contains this word, I don't get any results. 

 

It seemed like such a simple thing, but I'm at a loss on why it doesn't work!

 

Thanks for any help/ideas!

Kuba

Hi Kuba,

 

It looks like you're missing an ampersand character from your text mode. Try updating the code in your custom prompt to the following:

 

parent:name=july&parent:name_Mod=cicontains

 

Let me know if this resolves the problem.

 

Best Regards,

Rich.
