Adobe Workfront

Hi, is there any way to show the issue’s status for a user inside the issue view but block it for the user to not be able to change it, just show the field but block it ? i tried through the layout template but you either remove it completely or show it.thanks,Bianca

When proofing a document I wanted to tag another approver and get their opinion about something on the artwork. However, it will not let me tag them, giving me the message “Your sharing permissions allow you to mention only people already added to the proof.”If they are an approver, wouldn’t they already be added to the proof? It seems that I can tag them in the updates (Unless it is an outside user, than I am unable to tag them at all - but I can add them as an approver)We used to have no problems tagging people that had Workfront accounts on our system so I’m not sure which update changed this, but would like to know how to fix it please.

I am certain I saw this in my instance last night and now I cannot find how I found it.What I am looking to achieve is from within a Portfolio, using the Milestone View and it be grouped by program.Please can someone help?!

Hi everyone,I’m trying to implement a Portfolio → Program dependency in Adobe Workfront and ran into a behavior that I’d like to understand better.BackgroundIn the native Workfront project fields, Portfolio and Program already exist as built-in fields. When we create a project: Portfolio can be selected Program automatically shows only programs related to that portfolio This dependency works perfectly.However, the problem is that these native Portfolio and Program fields are not required fields, and Workfront does not allow us to make them required.What we triedTo make these fields required, we created them again in a Custom Form using reference fields: Portfolio field Reference Field: Portfolio Set as Required Program field Reference Field: Program Set as Required The goal was to force users to select both Portfolio and Program when creating a project.IssueAfter creating these fields in the custom form: When we select a Portfolio, The Program field still shows

So I have a custom text field attached to tasks. I customized my project view to include this column. I tried adding text to these fields and it refuses to save inline. However, I went into the task itself, edited the task, and added text to the field there. I saved it, came back to the project view, and it isn’t showing up. But going back into the actual task itself, and editing, I can see the text I added to the field. Is there something going on with custom fields and tasks right now?  I found this issue: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/workfront-known-issues/issues/new-workfront-experience/wf-current/wf-tasks-inline-changes-not-saving But it claims to have been fixed in December. I don’t know if this is related. Is there anything I can check? It’s kinda starting to put me in a bind. I’m rebuilding Workfront for a team that isn’t really comfortable with the tool. I just want to make sure I get this to them in a way that’s productive. For the record, I can’t submit a ticke

We have recently become aware that we are no longer able to create negative expenses.This has created a huge problems on our end with invoicing clients.We often have corporate card returns/refunds that, of course, come through as a negative number. If we’ve already invoiced a client by adding the original expense to a billing record, we have no way to now add a negative expense to a future billing record to reduce the next invoice for that client. And if we haven’t already invoiced the client, zero’ing out that expense creates an audit mis-alignment with our financial system. We also often have credits that come from suppliers related to an invoice that we’ve posted. Same as expenses, not being able to create a negative expense for supplier credits causes the same problems on this expense type.We were not made aware that this change was coming and it is causing errors in our Fusion automations that try to create a negative expense record in Workfront, in addition to the client invoicin

Hi,I have a project report where I want to add some columns that contain data from task forms.  For 5 different milestones we have a task form where they may click some options if a task is delayed.  I’m having trouble getting that displayed in a project report.Any help on text mode syntax is appreciated.  This is what I tried but does not seem to be working. listdelimiter=<div>listmethod=nested(tasks).listsnamekey=Survey Design Barriersvaluefield=Survey Design Barriersvalueformat=customDataLabelsAsString ThanksHeather

Does anyone know why the proofing tool would give you the error message "proof failed to generate", when the user is set to "Manager" vs "Supervisor in the users "proof permission profile"?If i change it to Supervisor it works, but if it's Manager i get the error message.

Successful organizations don’t treat planning, execution and reporting as separate activities; they connect them. In this session, join Workfront Expert, ​@Madalyn_Destafney as she shares how to leverage Workfront Planning alongside Workfront Workflow to create a connected operating model that moves seamlessly from planning into execution, with real-time visibility through Canvas Dashboards.  If you weren’t able to attend live — or want to revisit any part of the session — you can access everything below: Slide Deck PDF  Webinar Recording During the session, Madalyn shared use case ideas and demonstrated how Workflow continues to power execution. She then showed the power of Canvas Dashboards to bring both together to see the full picture.  Whether you’re just getting started with Workfront Planning or looking to mature how your organization plans, executes and reports on work, this session will provide practical guidance that you can apply immediately. Huge thanks to Madalyn sharing h

Hi there. I’m pulling a Proof Approvals report, where I am grouping by approverDecision to know what proofs are still pending and which ones have been reviewed/approved. It turns out that if a proof was set up as interactive, the system will lowercase the field value for approverDecision and will capitalize it if the proof was set up as static. See example screenshot:I cannot find any string functions to use within valueexpression or something similar in text mode to normalize these fields. Any idea how to proceed here? Current text mode grouping:group.0.iscollapsed=truegroup.0.linkedname=approvergroup.0.namekey=view.relatedcolumngroup.0.namekeyargkey.0=approvergroup.0.namekeyargkey.1=namegroup.0.valuefield=approver:namegroup.0.valueformat=stringgroup.1.iscollapsed=truegroup.1.name=Approver Decisiongroup.1.valuefield=approverDecisiongroup.1.valueformat=stringtextmode=true

Hi Everyone,I’m trying to understand how to implement a Parent–Child project structure in Adobe Workfront so that multiple projects can stay aligned with a master project timeline.The idea is to have a hierarchy like this:Portfolio → Program → Parent Project → Multiple Child ProjectsThe Parent Project would contain the main timeline and key milestone tasks. The Child Projects would represent different workstreams (for example: Marketing Campaign, Sales Training, Customer Enablement, etc.), each owned by different teams.The goal is that when the dates in the Parent Project change, the related tasks in the Child Projects should automatically adjust so that all teams stay synchronized.I’ve seen diagrams where tasks in the Child Projects are linked to tasks in the Parent Project, possibly using cross-project dependencies or predecessor relationships.My questions are:  Is this possible ? What is the best way to implement this structure in Workfront? Can Parent and Child Projects be formal

A department is adding a new queue with a new custom form to their request project. The form shows the name but not any of the fields when someone goes to make the request. It only shows up for admins and for the project owner who does not have an admin license. I have tried creating a new form and it still did not work. Also created new fields and still not showing. Tried it on a different queue. The form is set as edit for those who submit, no restricted access. The queue is system wide. The project and form is shared with everyone. And the other queues and forms work. But when logged in as a user or if they try, it only shows the name of the form. Any ideas on why it is doing it and how to fix it?

Is this a bug……...I’m seeing that if a collapsed form is never “opened”, even if there are required fields in the custom form, you can submit the form. In essence the required fields are not holding true.
