Add the ability to filter work items in historical reports by tags

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Report Builder is limited on the attributes it can take on a historical report; it's possible to use more attributes on a current mode. IBM Engineers often recommend the use of fields (like tags) when proving out a concept or supplementing the tool where the addition of a field has not yet matured. Good.

In our scenario, we use the tags field to distinguish certain artifacts where the category field cannot supply the information but there's no solid "an additional field should be this" option. For one such tag, we want to know the stats on how many artifacts were opened with that tag and how many were closed in any given month.

We CAN see the overall open artifacts and closed artifacts in a historical graph for some of the out of the box fields. It works well. We CANNOT use the tags field, even to filter down the artifacts going into this report.

In the historical reports, if we could filter work items under consideration by tags (which makes sense being that it's recommended as a field for proving out concepts), our needs would easily be met and existing functionality in the historical reporting could be used.

Please add the ability to filter work items by fields such as tags in historical reporting.

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. The IBM Engineering team has carefully reviewed this idea, and based on our understanding, it does not fit our near-term plans. Although we are closing this request, it will be kept in IBM's ideas repository.  We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us to partner with you in developing our products.

    Thank you for submitting an idea. IBM Engineering team review board evaluated this request and determined it will need additional time to evaluate this request.
    * Is this request for a Data Warehouse (DW) or Lifecycle Query Engine (LQE)?
    * Is this request for a specific domain application, for example, Engineering Workflow Management (EWM)?
    * Tags are not ideal usage model when looking overall picture including reporting. It might be a good solution from domain application to cheaply organize/filter assets, but tags are not a good candidate for historic metric reporting.
