How to Export Assigned to in Reporting & Data Export

Unfortunately I do not believe that "Assigned to" is available within the data export options.

This is an area of the product that I am the Product Manager for, so I am very interested in hearing from others around possible improvements here.

"Assigned to" is a limited use (only in assignment object), protected, built-in property definition. There was a way to make it not limited to assignment object and if you do it, assigned to shows up on export list as well.

However, I don't think it's something recomanded

Hi Cagri,

How can we make assigned to not limited to assignment?

It's possible to assign any object to a user programmatically, for example using the workflow state action "Assign to user". It will add property ID 44 to the object (and also the assignment description property). See https://userguide.m-files.com/user-guide/latest/eng/State_actions.html and https://userguide.m-files.com/user-guide/latest/eng/assign_to_user.html 

It's not some hackery but officially supported by the workflow engine.

What users can't do is manually add the Assigned To property on the metadata card.
