Ability to edit custom field values directly from Reports

When looking into a Report based on multiple Folders and Projects and shown in table layout, I sometimes find it necessary to edit custom field values for items located in different Folders/Projects. Instead of having to open each single Folder/Project in Table view in order to edit the values, it would be great if we could double click on custom field values and edit them directly from the Report.

Hi Tatevik, welcome to the forums! 👋

Great suggestion! We'll pass this along to our Product Team and we'll send anyone else with the same request here to +1 your post.

Meshelle Loos

Yes, great suggestion Tatevik!

Not sure if it is my level of access or type of account, but it would be super spiffy to be able to edit any field from a report.

Akira Kuragami

I agree to Tatevik`s request.

And I want this function for also another purpose.

I created the issue list for the projects by using Wrike.
Every member submit their issues via Request form then the issues are registered as one task of Wrike and the detail of the issue is registered to the custom field of the task.
And the member who is assigned to each issue is inputting countermeasures or solutions into the custom field.
But for this purpose, the area for custom field is too small on Task View or Table View, for inputting or for showing.

So, I'm using Report of Wrike for publishing the issue list to the project member.
I could solve the problem regarding Showing, by using Report.
But I have not been able to solve the problem regarding Inputting, yet.

If we can update custom field at Report, I can solve also the problem regarding inputting.

Please add this function.

YES YES YES YES and YES on this feature - Actionable Reports....we need that!

I agree with Tatevik, I often need to complete empty custom field in my reports and this is very annoying not being able to do it immediately.

Would save me a lot of time!

Actionable reports would be a time save! For us especially for the first year of Wrike we bumbled around a little bit before we figured out how to "Wrike" properly for us. THere is a whole year of Projects and tasks that need custom data added and it is quite a bit of a time suck to open each one individually.

Mitch Simpson

This is a MUST for us. It's so frustrating to go to each project when we need to be able to edit it straight from the report!

Iann Engel

Yes please, this would make our entire process A LOT easier to deal with and save us valuable time.

Julia Di Mario

This would be a massive time saver fo this team. Please implement this!!

@[Deleted User] is there any update on this? Does passing it on the the product team mean that this feature will be implemented eventually? If so, an estimated timeline would very much appreciated. This would be huge for our teams! Thanks.

Théo CAPAZZA

Hello,

Any update on this feature ? It's been few years...

Thanks in advance,

Cansu Yetisgin

Hello @Théo CAPAZZA, welcome to the Community, and thanks for posting.

Unfortunately, there are no plans to implement this functionality in the short term. We'll be sure to update you here if there are any changes in relation to this suggestion. Please let me know if I can help with anything else.

Elizabeth Bevels

Hello,

Is there any update on this? I would like to be able to add a "comments" field to my project reports (e.g., if a project is on hold, someone can write a brief note describing why). That way the managers can populate/view relevant information without opening the project info panel or searching for the original project-- having to do this really defeats the purpose of having a report.

Cansu Yetisgin

Hi @Elizabeth Bevels, welcome to the Community, and thanks for posting 😊

Please allow me to share a little detail on how we process Product Feedback. We receive many great ideas on Community, and we pass on all feedback to our Product team. If you'd like to find out more, this article explains what happens after we receive Product feedback.

We check with our team and assign a status after a thread receives more than 60 upvotes according to our Product Feedback Guidelines & Statuses. We'll be assigning a status here after checking with the team when the suggestion reaches 60+ upvotes. In the meantime, if there are any updates in relation to this suggestion, we'll be sure to update you here. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hayley Coxon

Yes please! This would make reports so much more powerful. If you have multiple nested folders in a project or folder, mass editing is incredibly tedious. Being able to mass edit cross project/folder on a report would be huge.

Elizaveta Bogdanova

Hi @Hayley Coxon, welcome back to the forums 👋

Lauren Ellison

We are at 62 votes Can this be escalated to the product team now? This would remove the need for many unnecessary Excel sheets and duplicate entries for our company.

Elizaveta Bogdanova

Hi @Lauren Ellison and everyone!

Now we are at 60+ votes, I've asked our Product team to provide a status here. At the moment, they are not working on this feature, but they will consider it in the future. We appreciate all your feedback here and thank you for the votes. We'll continue sharing your feedback and the vote count here with the respective Product team at Wrike.

Malinda Gacula

Following up on this - any updates? I think this would be such a useful feature & judging from the amount of upvotes & comments on a very old request, a lot of folks would agree!

Juan Muttoni

Hi @Malinda Gacula, welcome to the Community! Thank you for adding your support to this idea, we are passing all your feedback on to our Product Team and they are aware of the popularity of this suggestion. I'm afraid that at the moment, we don't have updates to share about reports, as unfortunately not all ideas can be implemented as fast as we'd like to. However, please rest assured that we will keep you informed of any changes. Thank you!

Also, please allow me to mention that you can check our New to Community forum to discover all the resources you can find in our Community 🙂

Heather McCoy

Just adding my support for this feature, it would help us tremendously and save a lot of duplicated efforts and extra time spent with our current workaround. This would be a lifesaver. I think in general the reporting in Wrike is good but could definitely be improved. Keep us posted on this one!

Elaine McDonagh

Will do @Heather McCoy, thank you for sharing your feedback!

Jakin Thomas

+10 on this. It would be great if we could mass edit fields from within a report.
