Text mode has long been my achilles heel in Workfront, so I hope someone here can help me out. I have a Task report and I need to display information from a Project-level custom form, specifically one of the brand-new Typeahead fields. I can get the info to display easily in a Project report, but it doesn't show as an option in my Task report. Anyone know how I can use text mode to make this work? Thanks.

nevermind, it looks like that's the case (project typeahead field does not show up as an option in a task report). Anthony: can you just swap out in textmode for any other project custom field and let us know if that works? e.g. here's what I get: valuefield=project:test custom field linkedname=project valueformat=customDataLabelsAsString displayname= namekey=view.relatedcolumn textmode=true namekeyargkey.0=project namekeyargkey.1=test custom field querysort=DE:project:test custom field -skye

yep -- agree with Terry. Anthony are you not finding the field under Project > Custom field name? -skye

Hi Anthony, the new Typeahead Field in a report is its own top level object. So, if you named the Typeahead field "ABC", in a Task Report, you should find this field in the column list as "ABC". See this Support video at the 3:20 mark - they show an example of creating an Issue Report and adding a Typeahead Field as a column to the report. I am assuming adding a Typeahead field to a Task Report would be similar. "https://vimeo.com/339168186/b3ba78f3f1">Reference Custom Data Typeahead Terry Hynd EBSCO Information Services
