Rally - Missing fields in Aggregate By dropdown for Pie Chart widget in Custom Views

Products

• Rally SaaS

Issue/Introduction

When migrating from legacy Custom Pages to the new Custom Views interface, certain attributes previously available for aggregation in charts may not be visible in the widget configuration.

Symptoms

• Creating a Pie Chart or Bar Chart widget in a Rally Custom View.
• The "Aggregate By" dropdown does not list expected fields such as "Name" or "Tags".
• These fields were previously available in legacy reporting apps or custom pages.

Environment

Rally SaaS

Cause

This is a known product limitation. The new Custom View widgets currently support a subset of the fields available in legacy reporting components

Resolution

This issue is currently under review by Product Management as a planned enhancement.

• RFE: F60990 - Allow adding key fields (Name, Tags, etc.) in the Pie Chart widget within Custom Views.

Workaround: For specific use cases involving filtering by Portfolio Item custom attributes while viewing User Stories, Defects or Tasks use the Pie Chart with a query.

Example Query:

• (PortfolioItem.c_Type = "####") – Filters your custom fields.
• (PortfolioItem.Project = Project) – Matches the project between the Portfolio Item and the User Story.
