Workfront

Having the descriptive text show in black makes it looks just like the text that exists elsewhere on the form. Often this text is used for instructions and having it the same color as form field answers is confusing and hard to read. A simple option would work here as well. Either black or gray as a selection.

Description - It would be a good idea to publish documentation about the plan mode feature on the project landing page. Why is this feature important to you - Project Managers, when shown this feature, really like what it can do, and they ask for documentation on how it works but there is none. How would you like the feature to work - I would like that there is documentation on this feature available, including - that it exists, how to access it, and an explanation of how it works. Current Behaviour - There is no documentation and support suggested it be raised as an 'idea'

Allow system admins and project owners to MOVE entire comment/update threads to a different task, project, request or program.Issue: Many users plop comments in the wrong location which causes much confusion among team members. Then it is exacerbated by people replying to the comments.Yes, we can copy the thread or copy the text, but this is still not enough because people still go to the old/wrong location.

Description -We have users who do not need to log time based on their job level. For those users, we didn't apply a timesheet profile. Now we have some users were who logging time but due to recent job role changes are now not required to log time. I went to change their timesheet profile to remove it and with the new UI updates, it does not allow me to do so. It only always you to choose another timesheet profile. How would you like the feature to work - I would like the ability to completely remove or clear a timesheet profile from a user’s profile in the UI. Ideally, there should be an option to select “none” or leave the field blank, so that no timesheet is generated for those users who do not need to log time. Current Behaviour -Currently, the new UI does not allow clearing or removing a timesheet profile from a user’s profile. Instead, it requires assigning a different profile, with no option to set it to “none.” Support has confirmed this is a known limitation aff

Description - When requests are assigned to a team the requests drop off after a two week planned completion date.Why is this feature important to you - Assigned teams may have a backlog of requests and once the two week timeline they lose sight of the requests.How would you like the feature to work - Create a filter to have team requests display with certain criteria and have the planned completion date be adjustable.Current Behaviour - Team requests disappear after two weeks from planned completion date of request.

Description - when marking your own PTO in Workfront, at that point to also offer the opportunity to create an out of office notification if you are tagged, messaged or sent requests etc within Workfront - a notification to send to the originator that you are not available to process their ask or make comments etc.Why is this feature important to you - we encourage all project related comms to be in the relevant projects. If you are not aware of people not being in the office/at work then assumption is that they are there to receive the message.How would you like the feature to work - as an email out of office notification.Current Behaviour - if you have not heard from someone after a while, need to investigate if they are working by checking email out of office notifications. 

Description - Currently, when an issue is converted to a project, for any screen captures that are added to updates in the issue, only the image data transfers to the created project, and not the image itself. Why is this feature important to you - Users must manually add the image to the project after conversion, which is tedious and can easily be forgotten by the user during conversion. How would you like the feature to work - the images should transfer to the converted project, within the same update, along with the update data and image data. Current Behaviour - Image is not transferred as part of the project conversion process (refer to Adobe Support Ticket #E-001837945) 

Description - Allow New Microsoft Teams to Integrate with WorkfrontWhy is this feature important to you - Classic Microsoft Teams is being retired on the 30th June 2025 and we have uses who spend a lot of time in teams and find the functionality very useful.How would you like the feature to work - Transfer the functionality of Classic Teams onto New Teams which will allows you to interact with notifications / approvals  from WF and add new requests into WF.Current Behaviour - It connects but no interactions to or from WF are possible. WF support confirm there is no current plan to get this working.

The new Priorities view has really caught on with our team. The GUI is attractive and the recent release brings a lot of functionality that helps the team have a singular place to go in order to manage work assigned to them. But it could be perfect! Please add the same "edit allocations" functionality as is available in the Workload Balancer (within the Resource Management section) that allows a user to specify planned hours for a task on a day-to-day, week-to-week, or month-to-month basis. Currently, the Priorities view only allows a user to change the total planned hours of a task over the entire duration of the task.The ability for a working team member to specify the exact amount of hours they will spend on the remainder of a task gives managers a more specific view from week to week. We do not have access restrictions of the Workload Balancer on our team and have found it very useful to use during our meetings when discussing what will be worked on during a given we

Description - Why is this feature important to you - We have a field that are frequently referenced, and highly relevant to a large audience of users. Presently, in order to get a glance at that information, users need to drill in to a custom form and scroll to the relevant field.How would you like the feature to work - In addition to the 5 standard fields presently available at the top of the layout template, there would be a couple of custom field slots.Current Behaviour - There are only slots for 5 standard fields.

Description - The Print Summary PDF download within Workfront’s Proofing tool creates a flat image of the proof with any comments and markups, and is used if the marked up proof needs to be circulated outside of the proofing tool itself. The reason the originally uploaded pdf with any markups made in the proofing tool needs to be extracted from Workfront, rather than viewed in the tool itself by the agencies making amends as a result of these mark ups, is the agencies often use other Adobe products and comparison tools which contain scripted (coded) elements to compare the original pdf to the marked up pdf, and amend original files where possible in a more automated way. Given Workfront is an Adobe product, it would be preferable to have a high quality Adobe PDF output which is compatible with other Adobe products to ensure consistency and ease of use. The rasterising of the marked up proof and addition of wide margins / summary page changes the structure of the file so much from

Description - When a project owner is reviewing a project and find a task marked as Complete Pending Approval and review to find the task needs to have more work done on it, but they are not one of the approvers, when they change the status of the task to either In Progress or New, the user assigned to the task gets no notification and the task does not show on their My Work.  This is because the assigned user still has the checkmark of complete on the task.  This makes the project owner take additional steps of having to tag the assigned person to let them know they have to click the "not done yet" or unassign the person and reassign them to the task.  Why is this feature important to you - This causes confusion for the project owner and if they forget to tag the assigned user or do the unassign reassign steps the task will be delayed.  How would you like the feature to work - When the status of a task is changed from Complete or Complete Pending Approval

Description - Currently, you need a username and password with System Administration access to Workfront in order to create a connection to Workfront. Would like to use an OAuth machine to machine app credentials. Why is this feature important to you - Most IT security offices we work with are reluctant or refuse to create a service account with username and password that isn't tied to an individual person as it's a security risk.  How would you like the feature to work - Able to use either the Workfront OAuth Application (Workfront -> Setup) client ID/secret to create a connection, or create a Project (in developer.adobe.com) using Workfront API to generate client ID/secret, and use that in Workfront Modules to create a connection as outlined in this article https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/workfront-fusion/using/references/apps-and-their-modules/adobe-connectors/workfront-modules. Current Behaviour - When trying to do the following steps to use the ad

Description:Our organization relies heavily on Workfront for document collaboration and approval workflows. One consistent limitation we've encountered is the inability to reposition the system-defined document-level approval field within the document panel. While custom forms can be layered above this field, the approval section itself remains fixed in place, which restricts layout flexibility and user experience optimization.Why is this feature important to you:I’ve observed that the fixed placement of the approval field often leads to confusion—especially when custom forms are used to capture additional metadata or context. This limitation impacts usability, and reduces the ability to tailor Workfront to our internal workflows. Allowing repositioning would improve clarity, streamline processes, and enhance alignment with team-specific needs.How would you like the feature to work:We propose that the document-level approval field be made configurable within layout templates—similar to

Is there a way to share a request/brief with someone prior to submitting it? We have users that would like to share their briefs with someone else - to review them - before submitting them.

Why is this feature important to you:This feature is important because we are unable to customize or control notifications at the group or subgroup level. As a result, stakeholders (such as my VP) are receiving irrelevant messages that do not pertain to our specific project, which causes confusion and impacts communication effectiveness.How would you like the feature to work:Ideally, we would like the ability to configure notifications at the subgroup level independently of the parent group. While the system currently allows notification settings at the parent group level, it does not support differentiated configurations for subgroups or nested groups. The feature should allow for subgroup-specific notification settings to meet the needs of different project teams using the same structure.Current Behaviour:Currently, the system only allows notification configuration at the parent group level. It is not possible to set different notification rules for individual subgroups, which limits

Description - It would be ideal if you were to specify, at project template level, that planned hours can be front or rear loaded (in addition to being spread evenly across the task duration) when assigned to a user. Why is this feature important to you - This would help our project managers to schedule resource more accurately, it will allow them to schedule tasks on the same day, get get the most for the available resource on a granular level. The assignees would also benefit, they can concentrate on one task at a time, moving onto the next once the fist has finished. How would you like the feature to work - If a task has a two day duration and 8 planned hours and is assigned to a user who has a capacity of 7 hours per day, WF would allocate 7 hours in day 1 and 1 hour in day two. The task would be set to start at 9am and finish at 5pm which is inline with our default schedule. If the assignee has 2 hours available on day 1 and 7 available in day 2, the task would be s

Description -The current "My Request" widget in the New Experience only displays requests created through the New Experience’s Request section. This creates a fragmented experience for users who submit requests. To provide a unified and consistent user experience, the widget should be enhanced to display all requests submitted by the user, regardless of how or where they were created.Current Behaviour -The My Request widget displays only requests submitted through the New Experience UI’s request intake form.

We would like the number of risks to appear in the side navigation panel, similar to how issues and document labels are displayed (ex. Issues (3), Documents (1)). This would make it easy to quickly see the number of risks associated with a project.

Description, How would you like the feature to work and Current Behaviour - Our Goal is to create a template that can be pulled in over and over again into new project plans/Kanban boards. In the Kanban view, I want to see every story with the parent task as the header of the story with all accompanying tasks listed as a checklist item. I want this to be something that isn't something that an administrator would be required to do for us each time we need to generate a new project plan/Kanban board. Why is this feature important to you - For project managers utilization on a regular, ongoing basis. 

Add time field to the custom forms enabling users to input time without a date component.Use Case: Users often need to record specific time data, like employee shift start and end times. Creating a dropdown with one-hour or 30 mins interval is not adequate for these situations.

Description - Workfront should provide the ability to develop reports on Boards to provide details on current usage.Why is this feature important to you - We do not have any visibility into Boards users have created (i.e., adoption) How would you like the feature to work - Workfront provide a Board object that would detail Entry Date, Last Updated By, Last Viewed By / Date, Columns, Column Detail (e.g., Attributes, Column Name, Dynamic, etc.), etc.Current Behaviour - Workfront does not provide the ability to report on Boards

Description - Need the same reporting capabilities with boards (all types of boards) as we do with all other areas on Workfront and for Admins to be able to see a list of all boards without the need to share the board with the Admin. Because of the lack of these features, we have instructed our users not to use boards.  Why is this feature important to you - Without being able to report on boards or even find a list of all boards, it limits the usefulness of this feature. It makes it impossible for Admin to monitor the use of these, keep the system clean, and to tell the story of our work to leadership. There will be a missing portion of the bigger picture without including board information in reports. In fact, I'm extremely surprised reporting wasn't one of the first things created before pushing boards to production.  How would you like the feature to work - Just like reporting for all the other areas within the tool that is available today. Also, the Admins

Description - A way to view color separations in a proof instead of having to download the proof to view. This adds in one more unnecessary step for when it's important to check the colors. Why is this feature important to you - It's important to view the color separations in proofs when design teams are reviewing. How would you like the feature to work - Add in a tool to be able to view the color separations - like how it can be done in Acrobat.Current Behavior - We are not able to view color separations when reviewing a proof in Workfront. 

I love that the Workload Balancer is now available in user profile, it’s super helpful for visibility. But right now, it’s read-only. It would be a big win if direct managers could actually edit allocations directly from this page. In our case, managers have edit access to the projects/tasks their reportees are assigned.Here’s why I think this would help:Easier to spot imbalances and fix them immediately while reviewing someone’s profile.Saves managers a lot of clicks and time.Keeps the experience consistent with the full Workload Balancer.
