Issue/Introduction

The 'Assigned Resources' field on the Task Object has an issue when it is used with any Widget.

• When there are Widgets added to the view and the option to 'Filter Widgets' is enabled, you see a Toast warning message and the widget does not filter the data.
• When you create a Widget and within the widget configuration, in the 'Only Include...' (filter) section, you select the 'Assigned Resources' field, the pull-down does not have any values to select for the widget configuration.

The 'Assigned Resources' field appears in the following places:

• Inside an Investment
• In the Tasks Module
• In the Related-Object Workspaces (R-O):
  • To Dos Workspace for Tasks
  • Tasks Workspace
  • Staffing Workspace (Staff Grid and Allocations Timeline).

 

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to Tasks Module
2. Set the general filter: Assigned Resources = Current User and save the View
3. By default the 'Filter Widgets' option is turned on; be sure it is on/enabled
4. Click 'Manage Widgets'
5. Create a simple Tile Widget to Count records
   • Title = Count
   • Type = Count
   • Click the 'Create' button
6. Click the 'Add' button to add the new widget to the view 

Expected Results: The 'Assigned Resources' field should work with Widgets in the 'Filter Widget' option and in the configuration of the widget. 

Actual Results:

1. A Toast warning message appears and no data is shown in the widget. Message: 'Some widgets cannot be displayed because some attributes are unavailable.'
2.  The 'Assigned Resources' pull-down list is empty on the Widget Configuration page.
