I am trying to figure out if there is a way to create a matrix report that lets users drill down to see the data similar to Jira. So for instance, if the matrix report for requests is grouped by assignee and status and shows the count for each, I would like to be able to click on that count and see the underlying requests. The only option I have seen so far is to switch between the matrix and details view. Thanks for any ideas you have. 

Hi there! I am wondering if anyone knows of a way via text mode to pull a project owner/sponsor name into a task (or assignment) report. I want to be able to show this as we are trying to teach our creative teams to look at who the stakeholders on their projects are so they know who to contact for questions. I know I can pull this int on a project report, but I do want to also be able to show it in a task report since some of our users prefer to work via their tasks. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anybody could advise how the 'Requested By' field is populated under the Issue Stakeholders section of the Overview in an Issue/Request. The field is appearing as N/A, but I can't seem to find where it links to. Thank you!

Hello Workfront Community,    I can’t believe it’s already June! Time has flown by since our last review, but I wanted to update you all on our H1 2025 Community Ideas review. As you may recall, this effort is part of our bi-annual ideas review process, which involves our product team as they review and respond to the top 20 ideas from the past 2 years. Please note that this 2-year period includes ideas from our last review cycle in November 2024. Ideas from our last review cycle are listed in the second chart below, labelled ‘H2 2024 Carryover Ideas.’ Many of you may have already been notified of these idea updates if you’ve interacted with them previously, but I wanted to consolidate all product responses into a single page.    A couple things to keep in mind:    All reviewed ideas below were published in the past 2 years.   Ideas responded to in this cycle will be updated periodically by the PM Owner until they are moved to a 'final’ stage,

Hello, I have a calculated field that displays the latest date among a selection of fields. One such field is a multi-checkbox, each with their own start date field. I am attempting to pull the latest date from these selections but for some reason my calculation spits out a date that is one day earlier than the latest date. For example, if the latest date in a selection of multiple fields is 3/30, my calculation will say 3/29. Here is the specific part of my code that relates to the Multi-checkbox field:    DMAX( {DE:Start Date - xx}, {DE:Start Date - xx}, {DE:Start Date - xx}, {DE:Start Date - xx}, {DE:Start Date - xx}, {DE:Start Date - xx}, {DE:Start Date - xx}, {DE:Start Date - xx}, {DE:Start Date - xx}, {DE:Start Date - xx} ), "" ),  Here you can see that the dates are indeed 3/30 but the calculation

In my instance, we've added a number of Typeahead fields over the years that we've come to regret, mainly because they appear as top-level objects in Reporting tools and confuse everyone trying to build reporting. I can only explain why Project reports show two Portfolio and Program options with completely different options under them so many times. (Yes, I could re-name the fields but I wanted a better solution.) Finally I decided to experiment with replacing the Typeaheads with External Reference fields that looked the information up from Workfront's API instead. I've included a set of examples below for the objects I replaced, along with some gotchas I found along the way.  Project Templates. This was the easiest one, since we have less than 100 active templates in our instance.  Depending on what I wanted the drop-down to display, I could potentially filter further by the Group of the template, or any other template field. This returns a list of all Active Templ

Here is some information to hopefully outline this scenario:No Fusion is used, but can be suggested as a solution if there is none available in Core Workfront.Compliance Request Project - Standalone Queue Project that teammates can access and add an issue by going to the Request queueWebdev Pjt Template - This is where I am adding Queue Topics, Routing Rules to route Issues that use the same Custom Form available in the Compliance Request form in the Request queue.  Issues route to the Compliance Request Project just fine. However, because it is not a formal 'request' from the request tab, and instead is an issue generated in the Webdev Pjt, the issue is routed automatically and silently, with no way for the Issue submitter to know where the Issue has gone. Is there a way to:Keep a 'copy' of the Issue on the Webdev Pjt where the Issue originated from?Link the Issue back to the Webdev Pjt from the Compliance Request Project? I appreciate your insights! Let me kn

When approving documents in WF, it does not show the audit trail, i.e. date and time the document was approved in WF. Is there a way to track this/turn a feature on?

Hi,I'm working on a scenario where I watch for updates of several tasks within a Project.When Task A is complete, I need to set Task B to In Progress and create single use Task Approval. Is it possible to do it with Fusion? If so, how? Does anyone have working examples?Could you please advise?Thank you!

Hi, In a Fusion Tools Module I'm trying to set a variable with the first item selected in a multi-select dropdown. However, if only one item is selected, Workfront returns the value as a string rather than an array with one value. This is quite frustrating, but I thought I'd just check to see if the value is an array or not, but there don't seem to be any functions to do this.  I've tried length, but that just returns the number of characters if a string is returned.Does anyone have any advice?Rob

We have a Project with a section of Events our photo and video teams will be shooting at and a section of the finished deliverables that need to come from those Event shoots.Project- Events-- Event A-- Event B- Production Work-- Deliverable 1-- Deliverable 2-- Deliverable 3-- Deliverable 4 I am trying to show the relationship in the report. Something like:Event nameEvent DetailsShot listsAssociated DeliverablesEvent ADate, TimeShoot stuffDeliverable 2Deliverable 3Deliverable 4Event BDate, TimeShoot stuffDeliverable 1 I assume we will need to relate tasks via a Custom Field. I was trying to add a field to a form at the Deliverable task with the URL/ID/Name of the Event it is associated with. Then in the report, I was using the listmethod : valueexpression=IF({DE:Associated Event}=???,{name},"") listdelimiter=<p> listmethod=nested(project.tasks).lists valueformat=HTML displayname=Deliverable type=iterate I do not think I can pass in the context of the Event

On the Fourth Quarter 2025 release overview page, the following is noted: Other Workfront integration transitionsTo deliver more stable and scalable integrations, we’re shifting to a modern, flexible integration approach using Workfront Automation and Integration (Fusion). As part of this transition process, the following integrations will not be available after  February 28, 2026:Workfront for G SuiteWorkfront for JiraWorkfront for Salesforce.We recommend using Workfront Automation and Integration for your organization’s integration needs with Google Workspace. For an overview of Workfront Automation and Integration, see Adobe Workfront Fusion overview. I'm in the middle of testing and implementing the connection between our Workfront and Jira instances. It really sounds like a dumb question, but hoping others can chime in - am I understanding correctly that if we don't pay for Fusion, we no longer get to connect these applications come February? At

We have started to notice on several projects that the Percent Complete header is displaying 100% when their is still a task left to complete. The parent task is also displaying 100% even though there is still a child task that has been completed yet.  Just looking to see if anyone has had a similar experience. Went ahead and put in a ticket with Support.
