Allow a project's Sponsor to see all Hours for the project without having to grant admin Access to *all* Timesheets & hoursNew

While creating reports for our management-level sponsors to see hours spent across groups & teams for the projects they sponsor, we were surprised to find that unless they have Manage permissions on the project, Sponsors can only see Hours for their own teams (either within the Project navigation or on reports.) We then found there is no way to set up the project template or other permissions to grant Manage permissions to whoever the Project Sponsor is (in a dynamic way so we're not attempting to have the project template just contain a manual list of names of anyone who *might* be a project sponsor, which is a moving target.)We received the suggestion from Support that we could create an Access Level and check the admin access box for "Timesheets & hours", but this requires us to (a) give overly broad access to timesheets & hours for projects they are *not* sponsoring, and (b) maintain the (moving target, again) list of users who need to be assigned that access level.What would seem to make sense is to either enable us to set a default somewhere that a Project Sponsor is always granted Manage access to their projects, or to let us restrict the Timesheets & hours setting for the Access Level to only projects a users owns or sponsors. (I'd prefer the former but could live with the latter!)

Requested Bug Fix: In HTML Emails, Do Not Strip CRLF Characters Out When Inserting Text Fields Via TokensNew

I have filed a bug for this issue, and the response from Marketo Support was to post this as an issue here.   Background: Both Salesforce and Marketo allow carriage return/line feed (CRLF characters) in text fields. In SFDC, for example, users can type sentences, hit the Return key, and thus format entries into paragraphs. When this field syncs to Marketo, Marketo also displays the text with line breaks in its UI for the person record. When you import text with CRLF characters into Marketo, the CRLFs are also preserved. @sanfordwhiteman also has a famous workaround for inserting CRLF characters in tokens.   Issue: When the same field is inserted into a Marketo HTML email using a field token, Marketo strips out the CRLF characters when it inserts the contents of the field. Thus, a field that was a series of paragraphs in SFDC and Marketo turns into a single paragraph in an HTML email, often making it unreadable.   Why This is a Problem: If the CRLF character was included, you can use a Velocity script to replace the CRLF character with a <br/> HTML code so that the line breaks appear in the HTML email just as they appear in the Salesforce and Marketo UIs.   Do Not Be Confused! It is true that browsers and HTML email readers will ignore CLRF characters. That's OK. Let them continue to do so ... there is thus no harm in including CRLF characters. But by stripping them out, the Marketo email editor has disabled a very essential usability fix using Velocity.   I have spoken with Marketo developers such as @sanfordwhiteman and it seems that CRLF characters appeared previously, allowing this usability enhancement via Velocity.   I have verified this in HTML email but also assume it would apply to HTML output in LPs.   Please restore the CRLF characters to the token output in HTML.
