Help us build the Workfront Project Manager Cookbook — share your best “recipe”

If you've built a report, view, dashboard, or workflow in Workfront that makes your life as a project manager easier, we want to turn it into a recipe. The PM Cookbook is a community-driven collection of real Workfront setups — by project managers, for project managers. Think of it as your favorite recipe card, but instead of ingredients and steps, it's filters, fields, and the logic behind why it works. What makes a great “recipe”?Share something you actually rely on:A report you run every week A dashboard that stopped the constant “Can you send me a status?” pings A view that finally gave your team one source of truth A workflow that removed manual steps or confusionIf it solved a real problem for you or your team, it belongs in the cookbook. What you’ll submitTo submit your recipe, you’ll need:Recipe name Prep time, yield, and who it serves (e.g., “10 minutes to build, used by PMO leads weekly”) Report / view / dashboard / workflow type Step-by-step instructions with screenshots A s

New limitation? 'This comment can't be saved because it's formatted content is too large'

Yesterday we started seeing a new message when making comments/updates in requests and projects. The message we’re getting is ‘This comment can’t be saved because it’s formatted content is too large’. Is anyone else getting this message? We know this is new because we use the same script with some clients, and the script used to be able to be pasted in full. Now we have to break it into two chunks. Why are they adding random limitations like this off-schedule? We’re just trying to work, and this doesn’t help at all.

Canvas Dashboards: Support dashboard filters for embedded Classic Reports and enable cross-object reporting datasetsNew

Product area / feature areaAdobe Workfront > Reporting > Canvas DashboardsSub-areas: dashboard-level filters/prompts, Classic Report interoperability, cross-object reporting Current behaviorCanvas Dashboards can include existing Classic Reports, but dashboard-level filters/prompts do not apply to those embedded reports. Filtering only works consistently for Canvas-native reports.Canvas also has limited support for combining related-object data, making it difficult to build reports that bring together fields like Project + Task in one view. Desired behaviorDashboard-level filters/prompts should apply to eligible embedded Classic Reports so users can filter all dashboard blocks consistently.Canvas should also support stronger cross-object reporting so users can combine related data in a single dataset or visualization without duplicating logic or relying on external workarounds.At minimum, this could include:Full support for related-object fields, Supported join model for related o

Access request 'Request from' dropdown should identify the Project OwnerNew

When a user clicks 'Request Access' on a project they can't view, they're presented with a dropdown of everyone who has Manage access - but there's no context to help them choose the right person.The Project Owner is the most logical recipient for these requests, and they're already first in the list. A simple (Project Owner) label next to their name would give requesters the context they need without cluttering the list.Attaching a screenshot as an example.

Workfront Delegations - Problems & SuggestionsNew

I recently had a very frustrating time trying to figure out how we could use delegations when people are away. I see a few have posted on this subject. Here’s my two cents worth. Current Method User goes to Workfront Home/Worklist page. Click Delegations. Enter a date range and delegate, Save. This creates a delegation for the user's tasks that have a Planned Completion Date in the specified date range. The delegate can now perform the delegated tasks, issues, approvals etc as long as they have the appropriate Access Level. Problems Delegation delegates specific tasks to the delegate rather than just allowing the delegate to perform any of the delegator's tasks during their absence. The delegated tasks are those with a Planned Completion Date in the specified date range. The Start Date of that range cannot be earlier than today. Any tasks with a Planned Completion Date before the start date cannot be delegated. These would be the oldest tasks the delegator has outstanding and thus t

Currently it is not possible to identify whether a Dashboard is still being used. We need a default View which shows this, same as is available for Reports.

Migration Woes...what now?

Our migration experience has been challenging to say the least. Our assigned techs have tried their best to get everyone on the same page but we’ve had gaps in getting back to us over the past few months. We recently were told all users of the cloud have to backup their data before we migrate. We asked for directions to send out to our users and Adobe does not have any we are told. Support keeps kicking us back to our techs for the answer and our techs tells us to contact support...you get the idea. We’re 11 business days until Adobe will ‘force migrate’ us regardless if we’re ready. Any idea what happens when that happens? Trying to be positive but we’re on a three day streak of non-response to questions. I want to provide our almost 7K end users the best heads up on what is needed to be done in advance. Christina

Is there a way to have a request queue create tasks only (no issues)?

We're currently using a request queue that creates issues by default. Our team then works with tasks, so we end up with both issues and tasks in our projects. This is causing confusion.Ideally, we'd like requests to come in as tasks only — no issues at all. We want to keep things simple and have one object type for the team to work from.I know routing rules can auto-convert issues to tasks, but the original issue still remains. Is there a way to either:Have the request queue create tasks directly, skipping issues entirely?Or is there another approach anyone has found that achieves a "tasks only" experience?

AWS Errors when opening document attached to project

Adobe Workfront Fusion

Recently some of our documents attached to projects are giving an AWS error when opened. This seems to be happening with issues that are converted to projects with fusion (convert to project module). We have Preserve Issue noted so the document attaches automatically to the new project. The attachment is fine on the request but corrupt on the project. I have a support ticket in but haven’t been able to resolve. Anyone else running into this issue?

Now that we have to use the unified approval process, we are struggling with some aspects of the proofing approval process and workflow. Is there any training available for users? We would just like to understand how it works a little better. Example challenges:Stages moving forward based on due date vs. decisions Unable to delete stages or approvers in a stage Automatic notifications going to approvers or reviewers

Turning off share public link in Workfront Planning

Workfront Planning currently offers the ability to share a public link to anyone without a Workfront license. The link allows them to access our information without being directed to our SSO. This is security issue for Marriott and we would like to turn this capability off.We would like an enhancement to be done to have this capability turned off.

UTM Generation in Custom form

I am trying to build a calculated field in a Workfront custom form to automatically generate a complete UTM tracking URL based on user-entered campaign parameters.The goal is for users to populate fields such as Destination URL, UTM Medium, UTM Source, UTM Campaign, and Contact Type, and have the form dynamically concatenate those values into a finalized URL string.Example desired output:https://example.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=springcampaign&contact_type=prospectWondering if anyone has done this before as I’m having issues getting the calculated field to generate the final url.

Add Report to Shareable Folder upon Creation

We LOVE the new sharable report folders feature- it is really helping us with organization and auditing of reports. One thing that would really be great is if we could add a sharable folder to the report when creating or editing it. Right now That can only be done through the native reports tab.

What is a root project?

Can someone explain what a “Root Project” is and how they could be used? I’m working on a report and noticed values for “Root Project” as an option when I add a column. I can’t find any documentation on that value or any fields with that name. None of my projects have any value in any of those fields when I include them in a report. Our large campaigns use a project for concept development. We add a project for each type of deliverable and link them together in a program. It might be valuable to us to name the concept development project as a root project.

LLMs, Workfront & Challenging Conversations

Hi Workfront Community,Crowd-surfing for ideas on how to constructively guide some conversations we’ve been having internally at my org, hoping others dealing with the same challenge might have perspectives to share. With the push to adopt LLM tools, we’re getting requests from users that have exported Workfront data and used Copilot/Cursor to create reports/dashboards that they want built in Workfront. The Problem(s):Suggested metrics/KPIs calculated based on completely fabricated/hallucinated data Suggested metrics/KPIs that sound good on paper, but are inedible word-salads Suggested metrics/KPIs that ARE reasonable, but rely on analytical capabilities and/or functionality that Workfront reporting tools simply don’t have. Suggested metrics/KPIs that rely on functionality Workfront DOES have, but we don’t have implemented, licensed or don’t use in the way necessary to create the calculations Suggested visualizations that either won’t actually work, or again aren’t supported by an
