Why is this feature important to you - Reviewers are not seeing these proofs appear on their report and are missing proof deadlines.
How would you like the feature to work - When a "Workfront stage" is added, it should not change/blank out a Proof Deadline Date in the recently activated stage. The Proof Deadline Date should retain.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The underlying issue causing this behavior stems from the automatic addition of Workfront stages to grant access to other users, which is a technical requirement of the current Proof workflows. With the upcoming unified review and approval experience we are developing, this limitation will be resolved, allowing for accurate reporting on outstanding approvals.

We’re moving this feature request to 'Investigating' since the solution design process for multi-stage workflows for unified approvals is now underway.
