Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

By export/import or by RA, fill a log by WBS description, then display the log against activity bar

limited success can be achieved using a Custom Data Item, and Global Change to set the value of your CDI = WBS Title. However the limit for a CDI is 20 characters, so you would have to limit the WBS Title to this.

As an alternative you could export the activity ID to Excel and assign the WBS Title as an activity log, then upload these values back into P3 (a bit messy!).

I do not think this may be done.

The bands may be extended over the bar chart area and the WBS description shown here, but this is not quite the same.

You could produce a WBS activity for each WBS code, make the description the same as the WBS code and filter on just the WBS activities. Still a bit of messing around.
