For a while, my team and I have been seeing some of our global approval paths updating into private approval processes in setup. We setup our global approval processes by creating approval paths with generic job roles, then we attach those onto tasks in our templates. From there, our project managers will create projects from those templates and edit the approval process and assign them to the correct users. Every once in a while, we'll find a converted approval path in setup. Our project managers haven't seen anything out in the ordinary when updating as well. I've read the documentation about editing approval paths and it says it should only impact the object it's attached to. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar to this situation and if this is normal behavior?

I created an hours report that breaks down hours by hour type in separate columns. Is it possible to sum each column? I tried the following but it gives me a sum of all the hours, not just the "X40" hours I'm filtering for. aggregator.displayformat=doubleAsIntaggregator.function=SUMaggregator.namekey=hoursaggregator.valuefield=hoursaggregator.valueformat=doubleAsIntdisplayname=Test SUMlinkedname=directnamekey=hoursquerysort=hoursvalueexpression=IF({hourType}.{name}="X40",{hours},0)valuefield=hoursvalueformat=

I am trying to build a report that pulls the number of projects a user was assigned to rather than the number of individual tasks within a project. I've tried a project, task, and assignment report but I cannot seem to get it to function correctly.  Example: A chart that shows how many projects each user on Designer Team was assigned to this year -- NOT how many tasks they completed. Has anyone successfully built something similar or is this not possible to do? Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I need to create a filter for a task report to show all tasks with planned hours = 0. However, (task) planned hours does not seem to be available field for filtering the task report. Is there some workaround for this? Thanks!

My group's tasks (task groups) shift as the project is being worked on. We apply one long template that includes all possible tasks and then delete groups of tasks as we realize the work is not necessary to complete or not required of the project. We've tried to be very organized with the groups of tasks to make deleting easier, but wondered if there was an easier way. Can we link a group of tasks to show based on how we complete a custom form? For example, list the group of tasks available in the form, and then as they are checked off have them remain or removed from the project? Thanks!

First and foremost, a huge thank you to Andy Hess @andyhess for leading today's workshop on the upcoming changes to the Workfront API and Fusion. If you missed out, no worries - links to both the slide deck and recording are listed below, along with a few key takeaways and resources from the chat.Slide deck PDF Workshop recording An event hosted in partnership with the Adobe Software Development Team was delivered in early May on the changes to Event Subscriptions if you want to learn more on that specific area, [Event Follow-Up] Preserving Your Fusion Scenarios During the Event Subscriptions V2 UpgradeKey Takeaways and Resources: Changes to the Workfront API multi-select fields are coming in version 21 (October 2025) to ensure consistent JSON array format instead of mixed string/array responsesEvent subscription versioning is being introduced - version 2 will always return multi-select fields as arrays, while version 1 maintains current inconsistent behaviorNe

is there any way to limit the character count in a custom field? Trying to make a character limit of 200 characters.

Hi all, We moved to managing users via the Admin console recently and one area we're unclear about is deactivating users. As a Product Administrator, I'm happy with removing users from the production environment by deleting their product in the console. But should I also need to deactivate the user with WF? Or should this be the other way round - WF first then console? The other issue we're finding is that Federated users we've deactivated in WF are reactivating as we aren't able to remove the product from the console. This is because they are assigned to a user group within the product profile that is synced to the company active directory. Will WF keep reactivating the users while this sync is in place? I'm trying to find a way of deactivating old users without the extra admin of raising an internal support ticket to our internal IT department. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Matt

I'm trying to pull the text from descriptive text fields into a calculated field that starts with an if statement, but I can't get the text to show I can only get it if its a text field. Any suggestions on pulling descriptive text from those fields ? Below is the if statement I started with. IF({DE:GF Paid Media Type}="TikTok",CONCAT({DE:Companion Assets for TikTok Paid Media},"",{DE:TikTok Video Specs},"",{DE:Copy for TikTok Assets Paid Media}),"")

I know it is blasphemy, but we have users in multiple tools and bringing them all together into Workfront can be challenging. I am investigating options that would allow Workfront to remain the single source of truth and intake point but allow users to use their preferred tools for day-to-day task management. To that end, does anyone know how you might integrate Asana and Workfront using Workfront Fusion? This does not need to be a complex integration.Good (one way / one off): Workfront object (e.g. task/issue) creates a task in Asana with selected fields.Better (one way / refresh): Workfront object (e.g. task/issue) creates a task in Asana  with selected fields - updates to the object updates corresponding Asana entry. Best (two way): Workfront object creates a task in Asana. Task status synchs with Workfront so that tasks status in Asana updates status in WorkfrontAny and all tips welcome! 

Hello! I'm creating a proof report to display all outstanding proofs for a team. If a proof only requires one approval at each stage, how can I filter this out of my report? Currently, the report shows a high number of proofs that need approval, even when a team member has approved them, as the user did not personally approve the proof. I have already included filters to exclude cases where the approval stage is 'Approved' and include proofs where the approver's decision is 'Pending.' Can anyone provide guidance on how to refine these filters? Thank you

Hello,  Does anyone know why I can't select the current month in the journal report? I want to run a report from June 1st to today, but the field won't let me.  

If you are a standard licensed user, go to the home page, and try to add a board from the widget panel...it isn't there. But it is there for contributor licensed users. I found this article which seems to be the only place this is mentioned: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/workfront/using/basics/home/use-home-area/add-edit-remove-widgets-in-new-home#widgets-available-for-specific-license-types. Is there a reason a feature like this isn't available to standard users?

Greetings! Is there some way to set up an email notification natively to Workfront is someone reacts to a comment? Or, would that require an integration outside of Workfront? Or, could Fusion do this? I'd rather Workfront triggered an automated email if someone reacts to a comment. Is that possible? TY

Is there any way to report on any requests generated through the Outlook add-in? Looking through some of my own request submissions through the add-in, I'm not finding anything distinctive to note the request came from Outlook. Since the Outlook integration is going to be non-functional soon, it would be good to know how many users are currently submitting requests using the add-in functionality. Thanks

I would like to have a project created automatically every quarter from a previous project. Is this possible without using Fusion or Planning?
