Hi @Chams_JAOUADI , I think you need to do the following in the Status report page of your **PROJECT** (not your Portfolio):

1. Click on ‘Show or hide fields’
2. Select your custom fields that you want to be displayed in the Status report
3. Click ‘Save’ so these will always be displayed in future reports (similar to the ‘save layout as default’ action in Projects)

Note, the custom fields you add in a Portfolio will apply to your projects, therefore available in the project status page of each project within your portfolio.

However, if you are [creating a Progress report of your portfolio](https://asana.com/guide/help/premium/portfolios#gl-status-updates) and you want to display any custom fields there, unfortunately (currently) these will not appear in the ‘Show or hide fields’ even if you [nest this portfolio in a master portfolio](https://asana.com/guide/help/premium/portfolios#gl-add).

Hope that makes sense!
