Adobe Workfront

Workfront currently logs that a custom form was edited/resaved, but it does not provide granular details about what changed (for example, when custom field validation logic is removed/modified, when a calculated field formula changes, or when field configuration is updated). This makes it difficult for admins to investigate unexpected configuration changes, determine whether a change was accidental, and prevent recurrence—especially when changes appear across environments (e.g., sandbox and production) and require manual rebuild. Please add an admin-level audit history for custom form and custom field configuration that records:What changed (before/after snapshot or diff of validation rules, formulas, field settings, and form layout) Who changed it (user) When it changed (timestamp) Where it changed (environment and object: form name, field name) Ability to report on these changes (e.g., via a journal/audit report) and optionally export the history This would enable admins to quickly t

As implementer or Workfront admin, have might have come across an ask that that you just can't realize in core Workfront. For example, you can't display the Documents of all child projects at the Program level (you see the files attached to the specific program). Sometimes WF Reporting just doesn't offer what you'd need.  Here's a way to leverage Fusion to create an external page that can be accessed in a WF custom dashboard. With this approach you could implement the "impossible" asks. [Apologies in advance: This will feel like web tech from ~2000]  This is not something I invented - and it was the examples I saw from my colleagues at IBM iX that got me thinking. There were a handful of cases where I wanted a tool that pulled data from the Workfront API and presented it to me visually instead of just the raw API output. After tinkering with this I ended up with an approach I keep coming back to. It emulates what an app server might do (receive a request, look up some da

When creating a new Team, users are only required to complete a few fields. Once the Team Name and Team Members are entered, the Team can be created.However, when a user subsequently edits the Team for the first time—for example, to add or remove a Team Member—they may receive the error message:“You must select at least one status in each category.”This can be confusing because the Mark as done section, along with the other fields requiring status selections, is not available when initially creating the Team. These fields only appear when editing the Team.The user must then scroll down to the Mark as done section and manually select at least one status under each category before they can save their changes. This can lead users to believe they do not have permission to edit the Team.Suggested Improvement:Instead of requiring users to select statuses the first time they edit a newly created Team, automatically select a default Closed status under each object in the Mark as done section w

It would be great to have more flexibility when designing custom forms, particularly around field layout and presentation.Suggested enhancements:Greater control over field height and width, rather than being limited to the current sizing options. More freedom to position fields exactly where required on the form. Additional formatting options such as: Custom colours for sections, headings, or fields Text formatting (bold, italics, font size options) Highlighting important information or mandatory areas Visual styling to make forms more engaging and easier to navigate These improvements would help administrators create more intuitive, user-friendly forms, improve the overall user experience.Business benefit: More visually appealing and structured forms can improve adoption, reduce user error, and make complex request forms easier to complete. 

 Feature Request: Timed & Milestone-Based Comment Access 💡 OverviewCreative reviews happen in stages. Early on, teams need private space to draft assets and give feedback without outside eyes. Later, final reviewers need to see past comments to understand why decisions were made—without gaining permanent access.This feature adds a smart visibility gate that automatically reveals past comments to later reviewers only when their turn begins, and locks access once their review is done.👥 Who Is Involved? Audience 1 (Core Team / Project Leads): Runs the project, manages review stages, and makes final calls. Audience 2 (Creative Partners / Vendors): Works privately with Audience 1 during initial creation. Audience 3 (Final Reviewers / Business Stakeholders): Steps in at the end to review the work and provide sign-off. ⚙️ How It Works Keep Early Work Private Audience 1 and Audience 2 work together in a private space. Audience 3 cannot see drafts or internal comments during th

Per this https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/workfront-ideas/allow-machine-to-machine-oauth-app-credentials-to-establish/idi-p/773411#M27023  and this https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/workfront-questions/having-trouble-using-oauth2-configuration-to-establish-fusion/td-p/658811 it does not really seem like this is something we can achieve at the moment. I just wanted to check was anyone able to establish Server to Server auth between Fusion and Workfront? Thank you in advance.

Text in a Rich Text custom field in a custom form isn’t displaying when this field is added to a board card. The ask is that custom Rich Text fields are supported for direct display on Workfront Board cards.

Enhance the Dark mode so that the entire Workfront background can be made dark instead of limiting it to the navigation menu.

Hello Adobe Workfront Support Team,We would like to submit a product enhancement request for Adobe Workfront Request Queues.Current situationWe have one Request Queue project containing multiple Queue Topics. Occasionally, users need to copy an existing issue from one Queue Topic to another Queue Topic within the same project.The copied issue must retain its existing information, including: Issue name and description Custom forms and custom-field values Documents Assignments Updates, where permitted Primary Contact Relevant permissions The standard Copy to functionality allows users to select the same or another project, but it does not provide an option to select a destination Queue Topic. The Copy and Submit as New process requires users to open the copied request form and manually select the destination Queue Topic before submitting it.Requested enhancementPlease consider adding a native option that allows users to: Select an existing issue. Click Copy to. Keep the s

Has anyone upgraded to the Planning API v2?What is your most valuable result/use case after doing so? We’re working to estimate LOE against budget and trying to decide if there’s bang for the buck there. Was it a huge lift to upgrade/implement? I’m told we have little to nothing on v1, so hoping this means it will be fast and somewhat easy.

Would love to have a button in WF that takes me to a text mode cheat code library vs. searching community or using AI. Any Workfront user could submit a cheat code and it gets added to a database behind the scenes. This would help all users be able to have quick access to effective text mode that works. This would speed up being able to implement solutions for reporting for businesses.

When a linked folder is created in Workfront and contains a large number of existing assets, the synchronization process can generate hundreds or even thousands of individual email notifications based on users' notification preferences. While the current behavior may be working as designed, these large-scale notification events can quickly overwhelm user inboxes and create a poor user experience.We would like to see an option to automatically suppress or disable email notifications that are generated as a result of linked folder synchronization activities. Ideally, administrators could configure this behavior globally or at the linked folder level to prevent mass notification events while still preserving important user-facing notifications for normal day-to-day work.This enhancement would significantly improve the usability and scalability of linked folders, reduce inbox fatigue, and help organizations more broadly adopt Workfront integrations and asset management workflows without cr
