Cannot add External ID as a column in CiviReports
February 04, 2015, 03:58:33 am
Hi,

Has anyone been able to add External ID as a column in a report?

Any ideas how this could this be achieved? I've checked everywhere but there seems to be now way to do this in CiviCRM itself. I am guessing this requires some changes to code in the civicrm files, am I right?

Thanks in advance,

Adam

It would be trivial to add this to the list of fields in a report if you have any experience with code. Which report specifically?

Thanks for the initial post greenitcompany. Sorry for the hijack!

I'm looking to add external ID to my "Contribution and Membership Details" report Coleman. Can you give me a few pointers?

Should just be a matter of adding it here: https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/blob/master/CRM/Report/Form/Contact/Detail.php#L54
If you get it working, please post your changes, ideally as a pull-request, so we can incorporate them into the next release.

I am looking for the same report but I don't know how to customize reports. Please let me know if you figure it out! It will be much appreciated!
