Adding Custom Forms to Documents

Avatar

Level 8

I would like to begin adding custom forms to our documents for some reporting features we want to use - the problem is we have to add each custom form.

When we create projects we use templates that already have custom forms attached. Is there a way to attach custom forms to documents based on a template? Or a default? or any other way to add custom forms too documents that isn't one-by-one.

Hi Samantha,

I invite you to consider our Excel Updater solution which will allow you to efficiently add custom forms to multiple documents, and (in a second pass) optionally update the data, too.

For background, Custom data on Documents are treated differently than on data (such as Projects, Tasks, Issues, etc.), and one of the main differences is that they cannot be bulk attached; which is why we (recently) enhanced Excel Updater to fill that need.

Doug

Hi !

Thanks Doug for potential workaround. Unfortunately that will not work on my side.

Really hope that this will be improved on workfront at one point.
