Add Favorites to Layouts

[#1]

We have several reports that must be shared with new users for them to then make a favorite. Wouldn't it be nice to automatically set favorites for a specific layout? This way when a new user gets assigned a layout they have favorites already established.

[#2]

We would also like more control on layouts. We want to be able to set our company default Filter, View & Groupings via the layout & not use the Workfront generic defaults.

[#3]

As a system admin I would like to be able to bulk edit a 'Favorite' object to multiple users at one time.

[#4]

I've been searching for a way to do this. It seems to be in the user metadata:

"favorites": {

"label": "Favorites",

"typeObjCode": "FVRITE",

"targetTypeObjCode": null,

"fieldType": "Favorite",

"enumTargetObjCode": null,

"enumType": null,

"url": "https://hcgint.my.workfront.com/attask/api/v13.0/fvrite/metadata"

},

but there's really no way I've found to get to it from an API call. If I had the right code I could possibly post a favorite to a user.

I mapped out the structure of the favorite here:

https://company.my.workfront.com/attask/api/v9.0/favorite/5e9b570100fc6bc9e55422d14f396df2/search?fi...

}
