Not able to select certain fields in Dashboard Widgets

[nmaydanyuk]

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a Widget to show how many open or closed tickets each "Organization" has in our project. I created a filter with all of these issues, but when I go to add an issue statistics widget to the dashboard, I can't use Organizations as the Statistic Type.

I tried creating a custom field and automating a rule to copy the value of the Organizations field into the custom field, but the custom field also does not appear in the Statistic Type dropdown. I checked and it does have a search field, so I am not sure what's going wrong here or what this custom field is missing.

If anyone has any ideas how to make the custom field appear in this selection or how to use the Organizations field, it would be much appreciated!

Thank you

Hi @nmaydanyuk , welcome to the Community.

indeed not all fields are available and Organization is one such field. Below are a number of JAC issues that you may wish to vote on.

Hi @Jack Brickey

Thank you! Looks like a lot of people agree that this would be very useful. I've voted on those issues :)

But for now, I would need to find a workaround for this. As I mentioned, I tried to make a custom field and copy the Organizations value into that field, but for some reason that custom field is also not available. Any ideas on why or any other workarounds you can think of?

Thank you!
