Job Role - Custom Fields

Description - The Job Role object appears to have the DATA_EXTENDABLE flag in the Workfront API.  It would be very useful in the UI to allow custom forms/fields to exist on the Job Role object.

 

Why is this feature important to you - Much of our organizational KPI metrics are based on Job Roles.  As such, many of our Workfront reports use the Job Role as either a filter or a grouping depending on the report.  To give some examples, our Job Roles can have different metrics like expected hours, anticipated performance goals, sustainability metrics, among other organizational-specific items.  Right now, I have to pull Workfront reports out to Excel, and then cross-reference/VLOOKUP against my standard metric list before presenting the reports to leadership.  A custom form/fields would allow me to display this data natively in a Workfront report/dashboard.

 

How would you like the feature to work - Allow adding custom fields/forms to the Job Role object.

 

Current Behavior - The modal for editing Job Role has only fixed fields, and does not allow custom fields.
