Not sure if this is a bug or a limitation only.
When I drill down into a project dashboard chart built with custom fields, the ‘search results’ don’t include all of those custom fields as column headers.
Example: I have a chart that sums a custom numeric field (Budget for Next Year) that is grouped by another single-select custom field (Expense Category).
When I drill down into the results, I don’t see the “Budget for Next Year” field in the columns. Which doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense to me. So I’m wondering what I may be doing wrong. Or if this is a limitation or a bug?

@Forum-team, @pforumleader, and @ambforumleader, Any ideas here? It seem odd that two of the three custom fields that are part of the chart are shown as result columns.
The clickthrough is based on a real search. However, I realised the following a few weeks ago:
if you search for tasks and include a field without placing a filter, the column is shown (that’s a handy trick we all use to see various fields in search results)
if you copy the search URL and share it OR refresh the page, the column is gone
So along the way there is somewhere a code that says “if no filter applied, don’t show the column”.
In your case you are not filtering on the budget, you a grouping by it, which the search does not care about.
Makes sense? That being said, that’s a bit annoying
