Output


Value of this field is displayed as a formatted string when presented in browser. If value of the field is not given, then neither the value nor the heading of field will be displayed in the view of task (user). Value of the computable field is always set, but it can appear as blank.

Filtering and search of tasks

Note! Custom fields, attached to the tasks (users) are not displayed for filtering in filters, created at the levels above, where these fields have been defined. For example, with the help of filter “All tasks” it is not possible to display and filter the tasks for custom field, created at the second level of hierarchy.

So as to search the task for custom field, you will need to create a filter either in the same task, where the field has been defined, or in its sub-tasks. The best way is to copy a readymade filter for this purpose.

Filtering of tasks for custom field of type Date is executed as per the conditions:

  • after the given date
  • before the given date
  • specified number of minutes (hours, days and months) back and earlier
  • specified number of minutes (hours, days and months) back and later
  • specified number of minutes (hours, days and months) advance and earlier
  • specified number of minutes (hours, days and months) advance and later
