Enforce "Required" fields on custom forms before completion of a taskNew

Idea:   Enforce required fields on custom forms and do not allow a task to be completed before they are populated.      There have been several of these ideas in the past but really wanted to bring this back up in a newer idea forum as this is a huge concern coming from a highly regulated industry.    I would really anticipate that this impacts almost every organization that uses Workfront as this is really expected behavior when you indicate that a field is required.    Idea option 1:   Required * = field must be populated before status can be moved to complete. Idea option 2:  Could we potentially add an option for “Required to close” checkbox when designing a custom form field; a second required checkbox option that drives different types of required action. This would mean you could leave the current structure as is, but simply expand to enforce required nature upon the task completion trigger. Current Functionality:   If a form is not opened to edit mode, the application does not review the attached forms to confirm if fields are required or populated; it simply allows a task to close.     What happens if a field is not populated? Manual processing to locate missing information Bad user experience requiring rework Incomplete and untrusted data Automation potential issues from incomplete fields Audit and process issues Missing sleep due to concern that someone did not fill out a field that is absolutely required!  Just me? Just like all social media content creators love to say…make sure to give this a vote, subscribe and send to everyone you know to get some momentum on this!

Notification option to let assignees know they can start working a task!New

What do we need:Create or update a user notification option that lets assignee(s) know when a task can start work!  (Can Start = True = Notification)                                        My Ask → Please Upvote this idea! There is currently not an option for users or admins to enable a notification to be sent to a user or team that is assigned to a task that lets them know that they can start working on a task; a trigger once the Can Start indicator on a task moves to True.   Users do not receive notifications that let them simply know they can start working on their task.   What’s available today in user notifications?   There is an option for “All predecessors of my tasks are completed” located in the Information about Work Assigned to Me section, but this does not always work and is not always accurate.  This runs simply off directly associated predecessors on a task.  If you manage predecessors at a parent task level, notification will not be sent to your users and affect your teams performance (e.g. Process B (parent task with multiple children tasks) cannot start until Process A is complete).  This notification will trigger only if you have a predecessor assigned to a specific task and does not account for predecessor relationships managed through a parent. Scenario 1 - No Notifications SentScenario 2 - Notifications Sent but not accurate!  

RFE – Columns block: Errors when opening Column properties + inability to move components between Columns/SectionsNew

Request for Feature Enhancement (RFE) Summary: Improve the Columns block so that (1) opening Column properties immediately after adding a Columns block does not cause errors, and (2) components inside Columns can be moved freely between Columns blocks or between Columns and Section containers. Use-case: During authoring, editors frequently add Columns blocks and adjust Column properties before placing content. They also often reorganize page layouts by moving components such as Text or Button between Columns, or between Columns and Section containers. Current/Experienced Behavior: 1. Immediately after adding a Columns block, opening the Column properties before adding any inner content results in an error. 2. Components placed inside a Columns block cannot be moved to another Columns block or to Section containers, limiting layout flexibility and forcing authors to recreate content manually. Improved/Expected Behavior: 1. Column properties should be accessible without error, even when no content has been placed inside Columns yet. 2. Components inside Columns should be draggable and movable across other Columns blocks or Section containers, enabling flexible and efficient layout adjustments.

Add an AI Documentation Agent Across Adobe ProductsNew

One challenge many users face across Adobe products is navigating documentation, tutorials, and community resources efficiently. Even though Adobe provides extensive documentation, finding the exact answer quickly can still require multiple searches across help pages, forums, and external tutorials.Proposed Idea:Introduce an AI Documentation Agent embedded directly within Adobe Help, product panels, and community pages.This agent could allow users to: Ask natural language questions about features or workflows Instantly search and summarize official Adobe documentation Surface relevant tutorials, guides, and community threads Walk users step-by-step through tasks directly inside the product Suggest related features users might not know exist Example Use Cases “How do I remove background noise in Premiere Pro?” “Show me how to create a gradient mesh in Illustrator.” “What’s the difference between Smart Objects and Linked Objects in Photoshop?” The AI agent could return: Direct documentation excerpts Visual step-by-step guidance Links to official tutorials or forum answers Context-aware help based on the current tool being used Benefits Faster learning curve for new users Reduced time searching through documentation Better discovery of advanced features Stronger integration between Adobe docs, tutorials, and community knowledge Given Adobe’s leadership in AI with Firefly and Sensei, an AI-powered documentation assistant would significantly improve how users learn and interact with Adobe tools.Curious if others in the community would find an integrated AI learning/help agent useful.

Expose the maintenance-task logs to customersInvestigating

Feature / Enhancement RequestDescription of the Requested FeatureThe Ford .com team would like direct access to the execution logs produced by the AEM maintenance tasks VersionPurge and AuditLogPurge (plus any future purge-style tasks) without having to open a support ticket every time they need verification.Current Behavior• Both purge tasks execute in a dedicated maintenance pod.• Logs are stored internally and are not surfaced through Cloud Manager’s log download UI / API.• End customers therefore have no self-service method to confirm that their configuration changes (e.g., updated purge schedule) actually ran.• Support must manually retrieve and share CSV log extracts on request. Desired BehaviorExpose the maintenance-task logs to customers via one (or a combination) of the following:• Add the log files to the list of selectable log types in Cloud Manager ("Download Logs") for each environment.• Expose them through the existing Log API endpoints.• Alternative UI or API that allows customers to query the most recent execution status (success/failure timestamp & statistics such as items purged).Business Impact• Lack of visibility creates operational risk; the customer cannot independently verify whether critical repository-cleanup jobs are actually running after every configuration deployment.• Troubleshooting requires a new support ticket each time, adding turnaround delays for the customer and extra load for Support.• Audit / compliance teams need evidence that audit logs are being purged per policy; manual ticket flow is not scalable. Support Investigation Summary (for Engineering Reference)• Confirmed with Engineering that purge tasks run in a separate pod; sample execution logs from 2025-10-10 were provided to the customer (attachments: auditlogpurge.csv, versionlogpurgelogs.csv).• Customer attempted to increase OSGi log levels but learned that does not affect these tasks.• There is no existing customer-facing log stream for these jobs; absence of entries in Author aemerror.log is expected.• Customer explicitly asked on 2025-10-14 to open an enhancement request “to make these log files accessible to us without requiring a support ticket.”References• Maintenance task docs: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/operations/maintenance• Logging docs: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/implementing/developing/loggingRequested Next StepsPlease evaluate feasibility, scope, and timeline for surfacing these maintenance-task logs (or at minimum their execution status) to customers through Cloud Manager or another supported interface.Full investigation available here: https://aemcs-workspace.adobe.com/bot/dynamics/investigation/4772c7e9-af48-48dc-927f-9b57dfbea568
