Give Charts the ability to read text mode

I changed a column from Manager ID to Manager Name. I set up a Prompt for Manager Name. I have a Grouping for Manager Name. On the Chart page, I selected Manager Name for my Y Axis. But when I run the report, the Y Axis shows "No Value" as the only option. What I was told is that Charts do not have the ability of registering text mode, and the workaround would be to use a custom field.

If I can create a field, I should be able to utilize it. So Charts need to be able to read what I've created on the report.

    Is there any timeline for pushing this out to the PROD environment?

    This would be great since I recently found out that the application, when sorting on Owner, only sorts on the last name. In order to sort by last and first text mode needs to be used but then the chart functionality is missing. Too many reports require text mode and the visual is important. We used to export data to excel to run reports and were demonstrated Workfront as a tool to eliminate excel reports and charts.

    Adding my comment that this sounds like very basic and fundamental functionality that is clearly lacking.

    Upvoted! Although this is probably a pipe dream :D

    I can create a report that shows combined task/issues by team member, but I can't pull a chart on it because the team member grouping has to be done in text mode. Please enable charts using text mode groupings!

    I constantly have to modify "Home Team ID" to "Home Team Name" in text mode to get report outs on which team is submitting or executing the work... the charts are useless without this function so I have to export to Excel & re-create...

    I agree, this is a fundamental problem for me and would be a game changer to have this functionality!

    I would like to report against a custom field that I have created. Unfortunately, the only way to do this is to create a report using text mode and because of this, the chart is not able to report against the results.

    Please can you find a way for me to report against the criteria I have set in the custom form. it has worked on other custom form data elements, just not this one! Why?

    Thank you

    Stuart

    Hi, please add this functionality - I need to be able to generate reports for projects that are grouped by Owner: Team Name. The only way to do this grouping at the moment is to use Text Mode, and I can't use the bar chart reporting as a result of using Text Mode. Thanks
