Short form: In the Work Packages screen make it possible to add the Project Priority field as a display column, showing the priority of the project that contains a Work Package. Make the title “Project Priority” to distinguish it from the work package priority, which just displays as “Priority”.
Long form: Most of our projects have project-level priority set by a business priorities team. Individual work packages in these projects have various different members listed as Responsible. Thus, the priority of packages is not driven by the package priority, but is driven by the project priority of the project within which a work package resides. So far, so good.
Now, a team member would like to get a list of everything they are responsible for, and sort it by priority. This is currently impossible, because in the Work Packages screen you can add the work package priority as a column, but you cannot add the project priority of the project that contains the work package as a column.
Solution: See the short form explanation above.

Hello Al,
currently, the work package page can display any work package attribute - including custom fields.
As a workaround you could therefore create a work package custom field and call it “Project priority”. You would still need to set it for each work package (according to the project in which the work package is located) but this allows you to add the custom field “Project priority” as a column to the work package list.
Best,
Robin
