What filter should you use to include Delegated Tasks in a task report?

Hi community, I have a task dashboards for our users that filters for tasks assigned to them using a wildcard filter ($$USER.ID). Unfortunately, delegated tasks are not appearing. What filter do I need to include tasks that have been delegated to the user?

Unless someone has figured this out and I haven't seen it, it's not possible to report on delegated tasks and it's not something I've found in the API explorer.

 

There has been an idea for this for a while.

    I saw a "delegationToID" field in the user object on the API explorer... have you experimented with this at all, to see what it does?

    I have and it doesn't seem possible to use it to get task data.

    I did not have any luck with it either.

    I went ahead and submitted an idea for you to upvote if you like:

    I did ask Support if there was a way to report, but it feels like there really isn't. For your filter above, the exists statement I have below could work with some tweaking, but it would fail if anyone ever cancelled a delegation.

     

    The workaround is likely to either delegate it to a made up user or for a made up time, but these are both "missing stair" workarounds -- they only work if your user knows to do this.
