Am I able to add a column to to a project report for tasks of the project?  If so, how do I do that?  I can't figure it out.

Hello Karen,

 

@leigh_hastyis completely right, starting from a task report would be the better way.

 

You are able to add a column with all project tasks into a project report, but there are some limitations:

The text mode should be like this:

valueformat=HTML textmode=true type=iterate listdelimiter=<p> displayname=Project Tasks Names listmethod=nested(tasks).lists valuefield=name


Using this, you will only see the task names as plain text and not be able to click on them.

 

Alternatively, you can use a workaround to get clickable links, but those will only be displayed as urls without having the possibility to show the task name only.

valueexpression=CONCAT({name}," - ","https://<instance>.my.workfront.com/task/",{ID}) listdelimiter=<br> listmethod=nested(tasks).lists valueformat=HTML displayname=Project Tasks Names textmode=true type=iterate

 

 

Regards

Lars

Hi Karen,

I'll let others experts comment on how to make that happen, but I'll say that it's always better to start with a task report and pull in project fields.  If you can recreate the report as a task report, I think you'll have less aggravation in the end.

    Thanks.  I wondered if I would need to change it to a task report.  But I'll wait to see what others say.
