Can I Bulk Recalculate Expressions With New UI?

Question

I’ve added a custom expression to projects that calculates the fiscal quarter and year in which the project was created. I’d like to use this for past AND future reporting. Currently, all projects display “N/A” so I’ll need to recalculate the expressions of at least the past year’s worth of projects.

I tried to use the bulk edit method described in the documentation here, but the UI is different from the screenshots, and I don’t see the “recalculate expressions” checkbox.

Does anyone know of another way to do this, or if I’m performing the steps incorrectly? I don’t have access to Fusion, so I can only do this within Workfront itself. Thank you for your help!

Technically, you can do mass recalculations by running a project report that fits your requirements, tick everything and then hit the 3 dots on the report and it should have the Recalculate Expression there.

That said, I did this recently with a massive list of project but maybe it’s taking a long time to recalculate for each project, I did get some reversion to N/A but maybe your project list is not extensive so the above might work for you.
