Hi All, I bet it happened to at least some of you that there was an error in your calculation or a form functionality concept and you wanted to fix it retrospectively. Calculated fields don't recalculate after the object is completed. This fact makes it impossible to make this happen without distorting eg. Actual Project Completion Date and even if you decide to go ahead it's risky and cumbersome. Why not give it a chance at least on a System Admin level? Please give your vote for this: "Recalculate%20custom fields trigger for closed objects at least for Sys Admins" Recalculate custom fields trigger for closed objects at least for Sys Admins Thank you in advance for your votes!

I'm going to roll this one around again, please consider up-voting this if you haven't already. title= rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z000000PSAtAAO/detail currently it's impossible to accurately report on the actual duration of a task unless users are trained to not only click Work on It, but also change the task status when they actually start work on that task.

Hi Heather, I actually contacted Workfront about this since its well past the threshold to be implemented and has been marked "Not Planned". They are not going to fix it because its old functionality tied to My Work. They want everyone to migrate to the new Home. So our only hope is that Workfront updates Home to be more user-friendly and have the same functions as My Work does. Aileen Aileen Taylor Cell Signaling Technology

Hi Aileen, Thanks for the update. We are using the new Home already. I just created a new task for myself, clicked the Work on It button on Home and it still does not have an Actual Start Date. I then did the extra step of changing the task status and then the Actual Start Date populated. Hopefully they are planning to fix it in Home, but they haven't yet.

Hi Heather, Well, that's sad news, it not on the roadmap and it won't be worked on by Workfront. I wonder if I was thinking Home and the developer meant the "New Experience" Aileen Aileen Taylor Cell Signaling Technology

The responses from Workfront Support that I've seen on this topic indicate that this is "intended behavior"; that is, when you click "Work On It" you essentially announce, "I'm putting this in my queue, so the rest of you don't have to worry about it!" It does NOT indicate that you are starting the actual work. Maybe a change in labeling is in order--or better yet, relabel it and combine it with a second button? For example, provide one button that reads "Add to My Work" and one button that reads "Work On It Now." (Clicking "Work On It Now" would simultaneously add the task to your My Work/Home, set the task to In Progress, AND set the task's Actual Start Date.) I think that might be clearer to the average user. Eric Manning Language Line Translation Solutions

Hi Alison, A lot of these older posts are now redirecting to the Experience homepage. How can I find them to upvote? Jazmin Allen-Collins Analog Devices, Inc.

Aileen, I've tried it in the New Experience also, nothing new there. Eric, Ideally I'd love to be able to change something in setup so that when we click Work On It, it changes the status. I get that there are other companies that need the Work On It button to just mean 'I've got this' but they aren't actually working on it yet. But I'm not sure which would be easier on Workfront's dev side, an extra button or something to change in setup. While I'd rather change it in setup, I'd live with either. Jazmin, the search in the Experience homepage seems better than it was in the past, that's how I've been finding some of the older ones.
