This is really helpful. Just knowing it can be done gives me the confidence to pursue this further - thank you!

Ah, parent tasks are a different beast entirely. A parent is really just a bucket for child tasks. The start/finish/duration is controlled entirely by the child tasks (earliest starting child task = parent start. latest ending child task = parent end). In other words, leave the parent tasks be. You ...

You'll need to change the constraint. Ideally to a soft constraint like "As Soon As Possible" or "Start No Earlier Than" but  really anything but fixed dates should work.

Yes, if you have a task constraint of "Fixed Dates" you will not be able to overwrite the duration. For our standard views I have applied the conditional formatting to the duration field to "gray out" the cell if the task constraint is "fixed dates". Pasted below in case it helps. description=enter ...

We accomplished something similar by creating calculated fields on the task to timestamp the changes. This is not quite what you asked (duration) but you may be able to modify and split the calculation into separate fields to get what you need. It required two custom fields.  1 DE:Current Status IF(...

Hi Scott, I know I am late to the party, but with a simple tweak you can include a link to the doc. valueexpression=CONCAT({name},".",{currentVersion}.{ext}," - https://YOUR_INSTANCE_HERE.my.workfront.com/document/view?ID=",{ID}) listdelimiter=<br> listmethod=nested(documents).lists valueformat=HTML...

Yeah, this is one of the reasons we have not released "boards" in our org. It is in high demand but there are just too many gaps like this that make it not quite useable. 

+1 The stacking feature is useless and unintuitive for the way our users use the tool. Where we have the option our users have been advised to use the legacy filters exclusively. Where legacy filters are not an option (e.g. Boards and Workload Balancer) we have had to create filters which call out t...

Done. Thank you.https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/workfront-ideas/enable-quot-my-priority-quot-items-to-be-included-in-task/idi-p/599572#M22373

Thanks Madalyn, I did not know the list was limited to 20. It feels like you should be able to show "My Priority" tasks in a task list but I can't see any way to pull it in.
