I'm trying to filter a query by a custom field but that custom field does not appear while other custom fields do. Is there something I need to do to change that field to make it appear? I didn't see a difference between the ones that appear and the one that doesn't appear. The other issue that I'm trying to figure out is that on one report I have the ticket ID but it's just the ID and not a clickable link to the ticket itself. Is that possible? Thank you!
Trouble with reporting on custom fields and creating clickable URLs
Hi Matt,
What is the type of the custom field you want to use as a filter? If the field type is numeric or decimal, the field will be a metric in Explore and therefore can't be selected as a filter on a query. However, if this is the case, you most likely will be able to convert it into an attribute that can be used as a filter, but to help with that, I would need some more information.
To make the ticket IDs clickable you can follow this recipe: https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360022372293-Explore-recipe-Configuring-clickable-links-to-tickets.

Hi Matt,
Just an update. Zendesk just annonced clickable IDs as a default feature: https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4404800392858-Clickable-links-now-available-in-Explore
