Reporting test mode with field of type typeahead

Dear All,

 

We have one custom field set up as typeahead. That is one which refers to one object such as user, company, etc.

 

Referred object also has custom field itself.

 

We are trying to get one custom field from the referred object.

 

Would it be possible to confirm it is something which is supported by text mode? If yes, we would interested to understand how we should write text mode formula.

 

We have used below formulation which is incorrect as it leads to blank result. It was not possible to find any link which would provide us some hint and we turn to the community for help.

 

displayname=myfield2

textmode=true

valueexpression={DE:myfield1:parameterValues}.{DE:myfield2}

valueformat=HTML

 

 

Any help would be appreciated

Hi there, unfortunately I'm not sure if it'll work. I know that you can't refer to a value of a typeahead field to use in display logic for other fields so not sure if text mode will do the trick either. Vote on this Idea.

If this helped you, please mark correct to help others : )

Hello Madalyn

 

Thank you for confirming it is not supported by Workfront at this time.

 

I am not sure we may mark as correct reply though as no solution to the problem may be provided at this time.
