WF - Milestones in a Project or Task Report

Hello 

I would like to create a report that includes the active Milestone status. This would be brought in for a task report where I can detailing work due this week or a project report for all active projects. 

 

Any thoughts?  Currently, when I choose Milestone name, color etc. It does not appear. 

 

Appreciate any thoughts or experience with adding this into a non Milestone report. 

Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Angie

@angieh1 - yes this is possible but you'll have to reference the parent task milestone with some text mode. If you aren't familair on how to do this, I'll post the steps.

 

First you'll want to pull in native column of "Parent Milestone ID" into your task report or view 

 

Once it's added to your view select "switch to text mode" in the column settings

Click into the text mode and change the valuefield line to be parent:milestone:name instead of ID

 

It should then populate the milestone name of the parent into this column

@angieh1 - Do you have milestones attached to your tasks in your project plan already?

 

You said: "Currently, when I choose Milestone name, color etc. It does not appear." Are you doing this in a task report and is the task you are looking at tied to a milestone already?

Hi Kellie,  See the attached screenshot. I would like the tasks for Survey, Finalize survey when on my report to show that they fall under the Fielding Milestone on the report or Dashboard view. 

 

Or even if I had a report showing open tasks but it could show my current active Milestone would be Fielding.  

Is this possible?
