Hi,I created an Hours Report to collect hours from different projects and users. However, the report is not capturing all hours from the parent tasks. I need it to include hours registered in both child tasks and parent tasks, since many users log their time directly to parent tasks. Could you help me identify what might be missing in this report? Looking for your expertise and suggestion. Regards 

We are considering using business rules and would love to talk with anyone who has had success in implementing them.  What kind of business rules have you implemented?  What level of effort is needed to implement and maintain?   Any draw backs or lessons learned?

Hi All,a calculated custom field of mine is behaving like a bad boy. Can someone please help me with taming it? : )I have a form that is attached both to the Task and Issue objects.The form contains a calculated field (called ObjcodeDebugCombined) that is meant to flag up if certain settings on the Task/Issue record are not aligned to the expectations, i.e.:On a Task: the Task Constraint is not "Fixed Dates" OR the Duration Type is not "Simple"On an Issue: the Issue type is not "Request"Here's the calculation:IF(($$OBJCODE="TASK"&&({durationType}!="S"||{taskConstraint}!="FIXT"))||($$OBJCODE="OPTASK"&&{opTaskType}!="REQ"),"failed","") The problem is that this field is not recalculated when it should be. More precisely:When a Task/Issue record is created (with the custom form attached), the field is calculated correctly.When another custom field is updated on the Task/Issue record, it (ObjcodeDebugCombined) is recalculated properly.When a native field (e.g.

Workfront proof now opens in a new tab versus having the close window button and returning the project. Is this always going to happen or will this be fixed so you can return to the previous window with the close button? 

We hear daily about how Ai is taking over the world, but let's see how many of us are using it so far!  A simple Yes/No works, but bonus points if you want to share how you are using it, or plan to!   Workfront Ai, Copilot, Adobe Assistant, ChatGPT, Gemini, custom agents?!

Can we set the format of a date field(standard or custom or Calc date field) to YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.fffZ on a report using advanced text mode? I see only below field formats available under advanced options. The one I am looking for is not available by default.  Can someone please advise on this?Currently we are trying this on a report the normal way, later we want to integrate AEM with Workfront to auto-populate this field from AEM. will there be any issue or impact later with this integration on this field formats? TIA! 

Hello, I am running a scenario that finds the latest update/Note on a project and posts a reply to that Note.Only when I test this, it takes over 20 minutes to process this module. If I change the ObjCode to PROJ and use the ProjectID it works fine, it's when I switch it to NOTE and point it towards the specific thread that I am getting a very long processing time. Any ideas out there?

Hello community!After years as a Workfront Engineer turned multi-time system admin, I’m thrilled to announce the release of the plugin I’ve always dreamed of: Taailored for Workfront — a brand-new, AI-enabled platform designed to tackle some of Workfront’s toughest challenges. Connect to your Sandbox or Test Drive account today and start making your workflows a little easier. The beta is completely free to try, and the following two features are already live with much more on the way: 📄 Convert Any Document into a Workfront ProjectSay goodbye to kickstarts. Once Taailored is connected to Workfront, you can upload a document containing your project plan — in any format. If your document includes custom field data, simply select the custom form to attach.Taailored uses AI to transform your document’s text into a structured project plan, automatically populating your custom form. You can review, edit, and push the finalized plan directly into Workfront.Supported file typ

It would be nice to see all my open proofs and what state they are in (like who opened/commented/approved) from the home dashboard without having to go into every project via multiple clicks to get there. I am usually the proof owner and sometimes it's hard with all the emails to keep track of which proofs I can move on. Is this a thing? Either for the home page or somewhere else? I'm not an admin so i don't have any access to make big changes or pull reports and such. I guess if y'all have a solution that requires an admin to pull I may be able to get one to help me. Open to any/all suggestions!

Wondering if I can pick everyone's brain on here for some best practices. My team is in the process of onboarding Workfront, and we're going through a piloting phase where we're learning what is/is not working before we fully launch.  Our current setup, based on the recommendations from our Onboarding team, was to have two different types of project templates, one for a Multi-deliverable project and one for a single-deliverable project.  Multi-deliverable was supposed to be for when someone has a project or marketing campaign that has a number of different deliverables (think email, social post, landing page, etc.), where single deliverable was for when someone only had one final deliverable (and this deliverable could have different components, like copy generation or an image that needed to be done for a final flyer deliverable).  Our Multi-deliverable project has a custom form with a multi-select field where people can select as few or as many assets as

I attended the Workfront Skills Exchange virtual event and noticed during a demo, the home dashboard looked different from what I see when I log in. Is this a beta version or do we need to upgrade? Is this Workfront Fusion home dashboard? I've attached a screenshot for reference. Thanks!

Hi - I want to see if anyone has any tips to better prioritize proof approvals for approver users. Right now, my users have full queues and I want to better organize their "my approvals". I understand that we can prioritize projects, does anyone have recommendations on how to use this for proofs? 

I am trying to create a task report that will filter out all tasks under a program where only 1 person is assigned. Is there an easy way to do this?   Ideally, I would like to create a report that shows the user's role for each person assigned, but I believe Workfront is only able to show the role for the primary assignee. 

Hi team!Below a challenge, which one of you potentially has a solution for. Curious, and thanks in advance!!ChallengeAs a Workfront admin I want to create a custom field on a sub-task that concats several fields used in (sub)tasks higher in the task-hierarchy. We cannot seem to tackle this in Workfront. BackgroundOn sub-task level we like to create a calculated field specifying the naming convention of the document a design needs to create based on the sub-task. This calculated field used fields managed on several layers within this main task.  ExampleFilename: [skuNumber-productShortName-assetType], where:skuNumber is a field managed on the main taskproductShortName is a field managed on the 1st sub-taskassetType is a field managed on the 2nd sub-taskThe filename is a concat of these fields within the 2nd sub-taskAsk How can we achieve this in Workfront?Can we manage this outside of Fusion? And so: how? If not: how would you recommend creating this?

Does anyone know which of the new access levels allows a user to generate a proof? I ask because Standard, Light and Contributor all have "Edit" access to documents per this overview: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/workfront/using/administration-and-setup/add-users/access-levels/access-level-overview Does Edit access permit Light and Contributor users to generate proofs?  Thanks! 

We've got copywriters spread across several teams and are trying to get a feel for the workload distribution.  For some, each copywriting request is contained in its own project that is owned by the copywriter.  In others there are copywriting tasks included as part of other projects.  So the report we need is a count of all projects that have at least one task owned by a copywriter, grouped by copywriter.  I'm just diving in to Workfront reporting and am have a lot to learn!  Any help the community can provide will be most appreciated.

Hello All,I'm working on a Workfront project and need to send a reminder to the project owner three days before the Planned Start Date. I created a test project for this purpose, with a start date of September 5th at 8 a.m. I've confirmed that the project reminder notification is enabled, but the email still hasn't been sent. Has anyone encountered this issue or have any suggestions?" Thanks,DM 

Hello! I am wondering if there is a setting to allow members of the team to edit custom form fields in the backlog view. I have set up the view to include custom fields and need them to be able to update from the backlog view. I am able to do it as an admin, but my planners are not able. They have to open the issue, open the custom form and edit.
