Do your project managers complain about how long it takes to enter in all the detail needed in their project schedules (tasks, broken out by assignees, and then distributing plan hours to each assignee)??? If yes, please see link below to Idea Exchange and UPVOTE!!! https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115006601593-Quickly-Adding-Planned-Hours-To-Assignees Katherine Haven, PMP VP, Director, Business Technologies - PMO FCB

Interesting idea....I'd need to see some more detail to know if it would be practical for us, but anything that saves time for PM users is a good thing. David Cornwell

This is currently a feature under consideration in the "https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004178467-Using-the-Idea-Exchange">Idea Exchange for Parent and Sub projects though which has garnered a lot of support. I've included a link for this below in case you would like to add your support to this. Any added support helps!

May I direct your attention to this July 2017 submission from Sara Rothkopf? This feature would be life changing. https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115004201233-Wildcard-off-of-a-custom-field William English

I apologize in advance if any of these are duplicates already logged in the IdEx (and if you know this to be the case, pls let me know so I can help crowdsource/upvote). I spent the bulk of today searching through 100s of ideas logged and trying to search for similar to these below - but admittedly, finally gave up and logged new ones.

Please upvote this to choose custom colors on Calendars: When creating a calendar, it would be great if we could choose custom colors (CMYK values) to match client/product branding and more easily identify items in the calendar. https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115006936148-Calendar-Custom-Colors On top of the current limitation where it randomly color codes items by project - the colors don't 'stick'. Every time I refresh, Project ABC is a different color.

Hi Alison, One of our users had a suggestion that seems to be covered by 3 listings in Idea Exchange. Can they be combined into 1 idea? Collectively there are enough votes to have it be considered.

Please upvote!! If you are a company that keeps issues/requests after they have become projects then you NEED this feature. According to the Proof product team this occurs when the original issue is kept. If the issue is not kept then the proof with comments comes across to the new project. I propose that this should be the case no matter the disposition of the issue. "I hope you are having a great weekend! I was able to find an answer to why the proof was not being brought over from the request. I was able to find an article explaining that "Proofs are included only when the option Keep the original issue and tie its resolution to this task is unselected." I am going to go ahead and close this ticket out now. Please let me know if you have any questions."
