Make the custom fields that's added on portfolio level visible on te project overview tab.

Yes please!

So Portfolio View is finally in a useable state in which I can have a sufficient list view of all projects and be able to add default and custom fields to it because as a Program Manager I manage at a project level, not task level.

The problem however is that when you open a project, this data/fields are practically invisible. The only place I can see them is to go up to the stop, hit the down Cheveron next to the project, then click on ‘Edit Project Details’ and then scroll down.

Having this buried under menus like this is a very poor UX. Also it is not a good view of this data as it doesn’t have enough room so it cuts information off.

So what would make sense is to create space for this on the ‘Project Overview’ tab. You have Project Description and so the next section should be Project Details which then lists all your project level fields. This would make it easily visible on the project and allow the team on the project (that may not have access to the Portfolio View) to be able to easily update the project (such as moving a deadline, priority, status, etc.).

Please consider!
