    I want to write some querys in Rally on custom fields. How do I find the internal name of the custom field to use that in the query? Isn't there some document to which I can refer to get those details?

    Hey Gene, 

    Logged in to the subscription, you can see all the real field names here: https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/doc/webservice/

    Generally, custom fields all start with c_ 

    So for instance: c_GenesSpecialField

    Hi Gene,

    I just put together a video that might also help:
    https://community.broadcom.com/enterprisesoftware/viewdocument/using-work-views-as-a-wsapi-query-b?CommunityKey=f303f769-8d4c-44d9-924c-3845bba6444e

    This shows how to use Work Views as a query builder by using the Chrome Developer tools to inspect the request.  It's a quick and dirty way of building complex queries without worrying about behind the scenes names.
