Ability to hide fields on Project Settings Screen

Based on a particular template, we'd like to show or hide particular fields from the user on the Project Settings Screen to make it easier for them to populate just the fields they need to fill out. Since we have created the template with certain settings defaulted, the user doesn't need to address those fields, so why have them scroll past them all. Project Settings could be a layout template?

This does not address the user experience pain. The functionality that was requested was the ability to hide unnecessary fields in the project creation step. My users are still confused by all of the settings that they have to scroll through and I am constantly fixing projects because we can't disable things like "Schedule From". Unless I am missing something, this only addresses the fields in project edit mode. This isn't what was requested. This was posted in 2017 and is still not addressed...

Thank you all for the feedback on this request.


In the frames of the New Workfront Experience we are going to allow administrators to configure the fields users see on the project details page through layout templates. You should be able to test the functionality out very soon. Additional updates through announcement center will be provided.


Thank you for your patience.


Kind regards,

Anna Asatryan,

Product Manager, Workfront

Another upvote for me; it's a headache that so many of the built-in fields we don't use, but the user has to scroll by them and we have to admonish them "just ignore this" or "don't touch these or you'll really mess things up."

This has been mentioned by the project managers in my group as well.

Agreed, it would be great to pick and choose which system fields we want to utilize.

I agree with Jennifer and Elliot's statements above. Considering this is a common request during implementation, I'm surprised this hasn't reached the threshold of 45 votes prompting action.

I agree. Some people do not need to see everything and it can cause confusion.
