Situation Every list has it's own status set and tasks show up in other lists using their home list's status. Thus when trying to aggregate or add tasks and subtasks from multiple lists into one, then there is chaos - multiple statuses sounding similar like 5 different versions of to-do (open, new, to-do, TODO, to do etc.). Look at the picture appended for example chaos. The workaround so far is to create a custom field for the aggregated list, which is used instead of "status". Complication Pure status chaos making cross list aggregation of items a pain Using the workaround custom field as a status kills the use of dashboard widgets around cycle time, lead time etc. Additionally you have to fill in and maintain yet another custom field, which is error prone and a hassle. Overarching aggregation on different flight levels is thus hindered and nearly impossible. This inhibits the possibility of overarching portfolio views, initiatives or cross company views of different opportunities belonging to different units that can't agree on 1 single status to be used for everything, since there is a difference between research and delivery. Resolution Let me aggregate items from different lists and show them under a certain status in a view, no matter what their original status is.
