Defect #19121

Mismath of feature and documentation in activities (time tracking) custom field
Added by Toshi MARUYAMA almost 10 years ago.
Updated over 7 years ago.
- Category changed from Custom fields to Documentation
Well, it is the documentation that is not specific enough. Time entry activity custom fields are available
1 on the timelog report as
available_criteria
(
source:/trunk/lib/redmine/helpers/time_report.rb@14042#L137), but
only those that are of the
boolean or
list custom field format and where the
list field format which has
"multiple values" enabled is
not included (
source:/trunk/lib/redmine/helpers/time_report.rb@14042#L140).
Furthermore are time entry activity custom fields of
all custom field formats (and without further restrictions) rendered on:
- the administrative (global) time entry activity enumeration edit views;
- the (per project) project settings views (to override the global values).
I don't know it is related or not, #1766#note-30 says there is a regression.
I am also having this problem... we have a custom field called "Job Number" we would like to be able to create a report thru the tool that exports the week with time spent along with the job number... Its not working...

Toshi, I don't think there was a regression in Redmine 2.3.0 regarding this feature. Starting from Redmine 0.7 onward (which introduced custom fields as timelog report criteria), only boolean and list custom fields were included (see r1340). This behaviour hasn't changed over time (besides the addition of the exclusion of multiple-value enabled list custom fields).
See #25773 for a general feature request to add more custom field types as report criteria.
Btw: I have added a footnote to RedmineCustomFields wiki page (diff) with a reference to this issues note-1, for the time being.
