Make "Home Widget" Default Filters & Groupings Affect Only Home Widgets

Currently, setting the default filters and groups in a Layout Template > “Home” > “Widget Settings”, changes the default filter for all areas of Workfront.

 

IE if a user is on a layout template where the default grouping for the “My Tasks” widget is set to “Project”, all areas of Workfront where the user views tasks will be grouped by project.

 

This is simply a poor UI choice - these settings should either only affect the home widgets, or they should be moved to a section of the UI that indicates they affect the entire system.

100% agree. Why are they separate settings in the Layout Template if they don’t control different things?  Layout Templates have 1,100+ flags to maintain and there’s flags that are duplicated?

I’d almost say this is a bug to be honest.  At the very least trim down the setup area by not putting the setting in both places in the layout template.
