I think resolving IDs are a 1:1 relationship, so you would not be able use this route but you would be able to make an external lookup field that is multi select and list all your projects that way. Of course, that is a rather manual thing to do, and there aren't any automations (closing all the projects wouldn't close out the request) so it's up to you as to what your goal is

    How do I make an external lookup field? If i were to make them this way can info flow backwards from the projects back to reporting tied to the request?

        Possible but one of them is going to appear unlinked to the request.

          This is not an option, unfortunately. There are a few tricky ways to work around it. These are ideas I've shared with leadership teams I've worked with:

           

          1. Convert your request to a "parent" project that has milestone tasks and then have those milestone tasks tied to additional projects through cross-project predecessors. 

           

          2. Convert your request to a parent project, create issues for each of the sub projects, and convert those to resolvable projects.
