Custom columns added to the default Issues / Risks lists are only available via the SharePoint APIs, so if you are using those in your reports, rather than the Project Online OData API, you will be able to include those in reports.

Paul_Mather Thank you! After posting I realized that my wording was terrible and I was going to restate my issue this morning lol - but you figured out what I was talking about. Currently I'm using the OData API, but I will dig into your url! Thanks again.
