Custom Fields in Time Entry Reports

Hi Christina DeSandro, welcome to the Community 👋🏻

I see that you're in touch with our Support team regarding your question, and I've also shared your feedback with our Product team. This Community article outlines how we work with Product Feedback.

Please let me know if there's anything else I can help 🙋🏻‍♀️

We also have very similar need on time entry reporting. We would want to see more flexibility in creating custom reports. Ability to bring Custom fields, Prompt for date range, include comments etc 

Thank you Red Nimma for sharing your feedback, it's been passed on to the team👍🏼

We too have this need and I am saddened to learn this still has not been incorporated into the reporting capabilities.  Please keep this on the roadmap.

Thank you for supporting this suggestion Brian Doyle, and welcome to the Community 👋

Just chiming in here that this is for sure a massive hinderance for my entire company. We are really trying to leverage custom fields and reporting through Wrike but these reports not having the ability to pull in the custom fields is a real show stopper. We currently have to run 2 separate reports and vlookup the data needed using the task id in excel to get what is needed. That is obviously not an effective use of time. I really hope this can get prioritized into a release. The entire point of custom fields is reporting so they should be accessible for any report. 

same for us as Melissa described. We don't get the link to our required report realized. Therefore Wrike is not used for timetracking with all the other disadvantages associated to that and this also one of the obstacles for broader usage in the company.

Thanks Juan for pointing this out - the requirement is relatively simple and currently there is not way to realize it by other means easily. I already discussed the issue with a custom success manager earlier.

The upvoting seems to be also only of limited use. Here is a similar thread with around 200 upvotes, but is ignored for years now... https://help.wrike.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115002251625--Status-Backburner-Custom-Field-in-Timelog-Report

We just transitioned to Wrike and this is a massive problem for us as well.  I was disappointed to find this thread (I'd been hoping maybe it was just me not being able to figure out how to pull it in).

Has anyone else found any success beyond combining two reports using a VLOOKUP?

Hi Josh Jones and Jens Fiala, thank you very much for your comments, and sorry for the delayed reply. I consulted with the Product Team and it seems that at the moment the ability to use custom fields in time entry reports isn't in the roadmap. However, Wrike Analyze (and potentially New Dashboards) might be of help in your cases.

In case you're interested in Wrike Analyze, please let me know and I'll forward your queries to our dedicated team 🙂

This is also the number one complaint from all our users, since we often have many tasks across different projects, where the location folder and tasks are named the same across different projects. This makes it difficult to add time to the correct tasks, but if we could add a column for an account wide custom field instead, then we would be able to differentiate between the tasks.
Juan; You mentioned using Wrike Analyze or the new dashboards to input the time - could you elaborate on how we could do that with a similar functionality to the existing timesheet?
