Answer 1

Hi John,

Custom fields are not timescaled so they will not appear in the value list. You should be able to make the value appear in the left side of thee pivot table report, however.  Once you've generated the report, right click on one of the task name and select "Show properties in report" and select the custom field.

I hope this helps.
