Can't find Petition Questions tab in Activities Report

[diegov]

Hi, I'm following the CiviCRM online Guide about Petitions (http://book.civicrm.org/user/current/petition/everyday-tasks/), in the section "Review results with Activity Report", but I can't find the "Petition Questions"  tab to expand in the Activity Report Template.

I tried it in the Demo (http://joomla.demo.civicrm.org/administrator/?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/report/list&reset=1) and even after creating a new Petition and sign it, I can't see the tab to show me the results. Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug?

thanks!

You'll only see a tab like "Petition Questions" if you've added custom fields for your petition activities.  The results of a default petition will be an activity in the person's activity history.

Yes, I did add two custom fields for the "Petition Signature" type of "Activities" and included them in my Petition, signed it (img attached) and no tab anyway.

I see what you mean. The activity report does not recognize the additional fields in the petition custom group.  I don't see an obvious reason why it shouldn't so it looks like a bug.
If you can replicate it on the demo.civicrm.org, it should get posted to the issues site.

I have the same problem... any solution?

Have you made the custom data fields searchable? They need to be searchable to appear in a report.

you are a lifesaver!

This answered my question too - thanks.
