🪲 Potential bug with Rollup fields in portfolio - not showing number/formula fields available in projects

English Forum Tips and Tricks
1

As of late, the past few days, I noticed that when creating a rollup field in the portfolio, it does not show (all) the available number / formula fields that are within the projects of the portfolio, as it definitely used to. Instead, in the ‘Inputs’ list, it only lists the number fields available within the portfolio, rather than the number fields in the projects within the portfolio.

I have also noticed when I go into roll up fields that were created in the past, that the field used in the rollup formula is marked red, as if it does not exist, like this:

However, the roll up formula within the portfolio works absolutely fine.
The problem is creating new roll up fields in the portfolio.

This has also been noted by another user here.

@Forum-team can you kindly escalate.
Adding @pforumleader and @ambforumleader for visibility and added confirmation.

Thanks!

Hey @Richard_Sather :wave:
We noticed the same here (with @Cyril-iDO ) - Definitely a glitch :slightly_smiling_face:

A temporary workaround:

Meanwhile, getting a fix, we found a tip : add the field to your portfolio first, and then it becomes available for a roll-up. :person_shrugging:‍

Ah that’s a good workaround, indeed, @Arthur_BEGOU :+1:
Hopefully temporary… :sweat_smile:

Inside of Red # is like [[$12094**********]]. So I guess rollup() can reach out a custom field.
After making a rollup custom field, We can remove a custom field from a portfolio.then it work well.
But this is inconvenient. I hope it’s temporary, too.

Hi,

I am dealing with a similar issue, one of my rollup fields that is pre-existing is showing as follows

There is tons of data in these projects and thus effort so it should be populating numbers and even if there was no effort tracked in the project it should still populate as zero, but the field is just empty.

Welcome @Courtney_Loring , yes! I have noticed this in my space and in the spaces of client’s that I consult - it’s seems the roll formula fields in Portfolios are going through some turmoil these days!

@Forum-team , could you kindly escalate this to the team and add it to the English Forum > Critical Bugs category please?

Any updates on this? I’m having a similar issue. I’ve got a series of rollup fields within my portfolio for budget tracking and work progress tracking. All were working correctly 30 minutes ago and then all of a sudden they all stopped working and gave me the hazard sign.

I found @Richard_Sather 's post about the potential bug, but in my case the project value is not a seemingly broken link.

We have the same issue on our side, and the previous workaround shared by @Arthur_BEGOU doesn’t seem to work anymore. Any help Asana? :slight_smile:

@Julio_V, @Richard_Sather,

Today in a client’s portfolio we see these red icons by two custom fields that involve rollups and they’re not rolling up properly:

Last I had checked several weeks ago, these were working fine and no one had changed them.

I tried renaming them and creating new replacements from scratch and they two show the red icon.

These are fields that correspond to Step 7 in @Tetsuo_Kawakami’s:

The field (one of them; they’re similar) is defined like this:

Is this the same bug or related to the bug? @Julio_V, could you please escalate? This is really holding up my client, and it worked fine the last we had checked.

Also, one more probably less critical, separate but potentially related issue: The very same custom field added to a project and added to a portfolio appears differently.

Here’s what it looks like in the project note the presence of “Due date”:

And here’s what it looks like in the portfolio (note the absence of “Due date”:

Maybe just a display bug?

Thanks,
