Hi, I'm trying to build a Project status report, that is one of the basics things to have in workfront, and it's a hard job. Although i build a report, with information of projects and i'm having problems using shared columns with a specific field: column.19.displayname= column.19.linkedname=direct column.19.namekey=conditionupdate column.19.querysort=condition column.19.textmode=true column.19.tile.name=component.conditionupdateview column.19.tile.height=12 column.19.valuefield=conditionString column.19.valueformat=HTML column.19.viewalias=conditionupdate when this field is the last column, when build a single shared column, it doesn't let me to add other columns next to this. Even with line breaks, it simply doesn't work. Another problem is to add some columns like Issue or Risk count, it also isn't possible. Anyone has tipos for this? Nuno Lima

Hi Nuno, While I'm not sure this is the case for the text mode you're using above, I've found that some fields won't let additional shared columns render when coded next in sequence. My workaround for this has always been to place the field that causes the problem at the end of the view. Take the "https://ddh.my.workfront.com/report/public/view?publicToken=x6u1T7zd_sQJHompK_ZvSo06axeidPcnfQ13hCdm62Okgp2lgIwVBYGvr2zgnH5w50EY17JgJBvzaww4VGL36lnL85RE28jm&endcap" WFPro Live Agenda for example, where the "Speaker(s)" field is really the "Assignments" object added as a shared column. I'd be curious to know if this resolves the issue for you. Good luck! Thanks, Narayan
