However, the response given does not actually solve the problem, just explains why it occurs. I find this limitation extremely frustrating. For example, I have a dashboard field which sums the number of “Story Points” (an integer) across a set of tasks within a certain section across multiple projects.
I often want to see which tasks went into this summation, but when I drill down, I can see the list of tasks, but not what their story points are. There is no quick way to see how that aggregated value was calculated.
In general, I would like the drilldown feature to behave more like the advanced search, which does allow a custom set of fields to be shown.
Thanks!
No, I haven’t, because my dashboard has lots of different elements, many of which I want to be able to drill down on. It’s not convenient to have a list of a dozen custom filters on my sidebar…
@Asana_Admin44 Is there a resolution on this? I would also find it very valuable to be able to customize the shape of search results. For my use case, I want business users who request tasks to be able to regularly review what they’ve requested, and adjust priority. Here are the details:
I have a team of business users who request work
I have a custom field called Requestor on the tasks, which is type “Person.” We track who requested work in this field.
I have a custom field for Priority on the tasks, which has a ranking of 5 customized priority types
I have a report where I show items in our Backlog section, counted by requestor
When the business user clicks on their name, they easily review the items they’ve created. But they cannot see the custom priority field, which defeats the purpose of the report.
For anyone else having a similar issue, this thread helped me.
TL;DR - add the custom column you want displayed into the report’s filter, and it will be displayed on search results when drilling down into the report.
