Effort field and Progress bar on feature, expand functionalities to include story points from all child work items (stories and bugs)

When our users are looking at features, it can be a little misleading on features that have no open stories but open bugs to see a progress bar of 100% complete. Would like to have the ability to expand the functionality of these fields to include...

Display terms in the export instead of default (native) names

Data exports should use customer-configured display terms for field names rather than native or technical system names to improve readability and consistency. This feature benefits all users who export data for reporting, auditing, or sharing with...

Quick add form is very limited and doesn't allow for cascading drop-downs / dependency drop downs

Quick add forms should support cascading and dependency-driven dropdowns so that selecting one field dynamically filters the options available in dependent fields. This feature is valuable for all end users who create entities and need form fields...

Fields such as Portfolio and Team should be pre-populated with default values in quick add forms to reduce manual data entry and improve data consistency. This feature benefits all end users who frequently create new entities and want contextually...

Views are restricted to only certain data and therefore we have to use non-interactive reports

The same underlying date field is exposed under different names in Apptio Targetprocess Request Entity —“Completion Date” in the UI, “Finished” in lists, and “EndDate” in filters—and this inconsistency is by design and not currently configurable.

Why it’s useful Clarifies that the naming inconsistency is out‑of‑the‑box behavior, not a misconfiguration by your team. Prevents wasted effort trying to rename or standardize fields that cannot be unified today. Establishes the correct field name...

Enhance “My Recent – Last Modified” to Include All Recently Edited Items (Not Limited to Created/Assigned)

Currently, the My Recent → Last Modified view is constrained to items that are either Created by Me or Assigned to Me. This limits visibility into work items that a user has actively modified but does not own or is not assigned to. In many workflo...
