Re: Does WF Pro still exist? - Workfront 20-04-2022
I pulled some web archive links for some of the valuable resources off wf-pro Text Mode in Filters Text Mode with Collections Text Mode in Views You can probably navigate around and pull a few more archive pages, but these ones were the most helpful. I recommend saving some more common snippets to a local text document

Re: Making a request from within a project - how do you handle this? - Workfront 17-03-2022
How many legacy projects do you need to add the request queue to? I believe I have a solution, but it is a bit of a manual entry. You can duplicate your new project template with the request queue built in and then remove all the extra data:taskscustom datapermissionsanything not related to request queues You can then use that blank template as a sort of "request queue patch" template. When you attach it to an existing project you will get all the topics, routing rules added to the project (but ...

Re: Email notification: Task ready to start - Workfront 23-02-2022
Understood. The hack-y workaround would be to add a task on project templates for "switch project to active" and make the first task a predecessor of that. Even If the existing notification rule was updated to use the canStart property on tasks that won't work because even if the project is not active, the canStart property will return true if there are no predecessors

Re: Email notification: Task ready to start - Workfront 23-02-2022
There is none for that rule specifically - I have put in a support ticket for this as it does not feel like intentional behavior. Workfront has "All Predecessor Task Completion to Task Dependents" which will send a notification, but only if the predecessor is on the task the user is assigned to. This does not work for sub tasks with a predecessor on the parent task. I tested with a report, sub tasks with predecessor parents switch the field canStart from false to true, but this does not trigger ...

Re: How do I use the Planned Hours field in a report calculation? - Workfront 10-02-2022
Hmmmm, a few things to be aware of. Formulas need to be wrapped with expressions (sort of like Excel if you are familiar) There is a list of them here. You should bookmark You also need to use the proper names. Workfront has a few instances of confusing system names. For instance, planned hours is actually "workRequired". You should get comfortable reading the API Explorer to find system names. Or you can select them from the UI while building reports and switch to text mode. Eventually, you end...

Re: Project Reports for PMs: How can I show who was assigned as Creative Lead? - Workfront 04-11-2021
I went and tweaked my old example: The "improvement" looks something like this:valueexpression=IF({role}.{ID} = "5d9d319f014448e648df203e89cffe81",{user}.{name}) you can find the ID of the role by adding it as a column on the view in the roles list in the admin setup menu.

Re: Project Reports for PMs: How can I show who was assigned as Creative Lead? - Workfront 04-11-2021
This requires a text mode using collections. I reworked an example I used on a different report. displayname=Creative Leadlistdelimiter=listmethod=nested(projectUsers).liststextmode=truetype=iteratevalueexpression=IF(CONTAINS("Creative Lead",{user}.{role}.{name}),{user}.{name})valueformat=HTML This will work if the first paramter in Contains() matches the name of the role you're assigning Some improvements that could be made... use the projectUserRoles collections (found in the API Explorer: Pro...

Re: Template question - Workfront 04-11-2021
I imagine there might be a report that checks for which template was used for creating the project - which is fixed in this case (which makes sense). To that point, It would be great to be able to restrict which templates can be used to make projects and which templates are only used by attaching to existing projects.

Re: How to create custom object as typeahead field? - Workfront 04-11-2021
Are you on the classic experience? The new experience allows for drop downs to kind of simulate the typeahead experience. However, typeahead fields are used to reference objects in Workfront. Often with multiple key, values. If there's some reason you want to hack a list of options into a typeahead field, I think you could still use the approach of using a more hidden object in Workfront (like Company) and apply a filter to the field using text mode. You could add a custom form with a field to "...
