On Oct. 14, 2025 the WUG Colorado Chapter held another members meeting that focused on understanding Fusion and tips for yearly maintenance of your environment.  Thank you to everyone that participated in the event as we continue to build our community and gain feedback from members. There is a MEGA-WUG event coming in December as we noted, so please keep an eye out for that event posting.  You can find the attached file that was presented at the Oct. 14th meeting.

Hello! I am looking for some text mode for two use cases: In a Portfolio report, I'd like to count the number of programs in each portfolio In a Program report, I'd like to count the number of projects in the program. Does anyone have good code for this?

Hi! I've got a Document report that is in a desperate need of a column for Proof Approver name and proof decision date. I would try other report types, however this same report also needs to display a bunch of Task and Project level metadata (+ a direct download link for the doc). Any tips/guides on how to achieve it would be appreciated. Thanks!Kuba

Is there a way to run a report that shows all the places a specific custom form is attached?

Hi, I have a few hundred projects that don't have a project owner, so we're going to update these with the person who entered the project e.g. Entered By:Name Is that possible to do without using Fusion? If not, I'll have to do it manually which will ruin my Monday! 😉 ThanksMatt

I am trying to create a calculated field in a custom form that will show me the average turn around time form Project Initiation To Approved Go Live date on all completed projects.  I cannot figure out how to get two expressions in the calculated field.  I know one would be DATEDIFF({DE:Approved Implementation Date},{DE:Project Initiation Date})but I don't know how to add the expression to get the average.  Any suggestions?

We are importing bulk Issues into Workfront for an upcoming onboarding of Projects. Usually, each one generates 3 different associated notifications. We don't want users to be burdened with mass notifications.I know there is a Project status that can be used "Planning" so modifications can be made to the Project that won't send out notifications. Is there a similar status that can be used for Issues?

Hi friends,So, I have something which is driving me kinda crazy. I'm trying to write a validation logic rule where if a particular multiselect field is selected along with any other field that the validation error kicks in.Here's the formula:IF(ARRAYLENGTH({DE:fieldName})>1&&CONTAINS({DE:fieldName},"option"),"Option must be the only contract selected. Adjust this and resubmit.")Now, this is a valid expression. However, it isn't validating. I've been trying to cheat with Copilot and Grok and neither are giving me something which works.This is killing me because there's gotta be something simple that I'm clearly not seeing. Help? -j

I use the Workfront extension for InDesign and every time I generate a proof it gives people weird roles. For instance, some people are given "Reviewer & Approver" while others are given "Reviewer." I'm sure it has something to do with their role in the system, but I'd like for everyone I add to be a "Reviewer & Approver" and for me to be a "Reviewer" (I don't need to submit a decision on proofs I create). Is there some way to change that? At the moment, I have to open the proof in workfront and manually change the roles in the proof workflow every time I create a proof from the extension and it gets annoying. I've tried making templates, but each proof I create has different approvers so I can't always forsee what groups of people to include in a template and I don't necessarily want a million templates. To my knowledge, setting proof recipient roles within the extension is not currently possible, but it would be a great feature. If no workaround for this exists, can

Hi,I have a timesheet report that is shared with management.   We noticed that depending who runs the report, they don't see the same people.   For example, when I run the report for 'this quarter', I see timesheets for 14 people.   When one manager runs it, they get the same thing but then a different manager only sees 12 people.  I have checked to make sure they don't have any different filter or view on.   I didn't think there was permissions/sharing for timesheet profiles but maybe there are somewhere?  Also, the 2 people that don't show are the system administrators.  Any ideas why the difference in the report or any permission that I am missing somewhere? Thanks Heather 

Hi all, I'm sure I'm missing something super simple but I'm trying to use a calculated field, formatted as a number, to pull in the difference between our planned start date and actual completion date on our task reporting form for tasks named review. The formula I'm using is:  IF(CONTAINS({name},"review"),WEEKDAYDIFF({plannedStartDate},{actualCompletionDate}),"") but it isn't working as expected. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to further troubleshoot? 

I'm creating a Workfront to Jira scenario using the Jira Cloud Create a record Module.  It keeps erroring on the "reporter" field of t he module.  I have tried mapping it to both the Sponsor name and the email address of the sponsor but when I run the scenario I get an error:[400] Specify a valid value for reporterDoes anyone know what could be wrong?  In Jira the reporter is a character name. Thanks in advance  Frank

Hello,I don't seem to find Best Practices for Cards.  Our Teams rely heavily on the use of Kanban Cards that continuos to impact the Project Timeline negatively and keeps the Project Owners out of the loop.As Best Practice, we advise the Project Team members are told to suggest a "Commit Date" when assigned to a Task in a Project.  In this way the Project Owner gets a notification to accept (timeline gets automatically updated) or reject (Project Owner takes mediating actions). However, "Commit Date" does not seem to be an editable field in the Cards.  As an alternative, I was looking at having the assignee edit the Task Duration in the Card (and notifying the Project Owner).  However, this Task Duration field does not seem to be available in Cards.  What would be the best practice for Team Members to work in the Kanban Cards while communicating with the Project Owner and not affecting the Project Timeline with undesired Constraint changes?

I'd like to have a user's phone number format as (xxx) xxx-xxxx in a report.I tried the suggested text mode below, but it returns only 7 out of 10 numbers. it's missing the middle three numbers.valueformat=HTMLtextmode=truevaluefield=phoneNumbervalueexpression=IF(ISBLANK({phoneNumber}),"",CONCAT("(",LEFT({phoneNumber},3),") ",MID({phoneNumber},4,3),"-",RIGHT({phoneNumber},4))) Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Hello, I have a Fusion scenario that converts incoming Issues into Projects. I have a branch on the scenario that:Applies the same custom form to the converted project (Misc Action module)Gets the request details (Read a record module)Copies request details from the issue to the custom form that is now on the converted project (Update a record module)I'm having trouble figuring out which modules to add to now:Export the custom form details present on the projectUpload the document to a document folder Is this possible to automate? Let me know if there's any more details I can provide. Thanks so much for your insight!
