Calendars -- Ability to Use Custom Form Date Fields

The calendars seem very limited in their options and therefore we haven't been able to use them effectively as everyone would like.

It would be great if they could be used in conjunction with date fields in the custom forms instead of just the built-in planned, actual, projected dates on projects, tasks, and issues.

For example, we have custom form field for date of deployment for our email marketing campaigns. It would great to have those feed into a calendar.

My use case is for offers that our company has. We launch hundreds of offers and we need a calendar view of all active offers. However, we launch to production the night before the offer start date and we have an end date of XX/XX/XX. We have two fields that say "offer start date" and "offer end date" that shows on a list currently but would love a calendar view so badly for our leadership. We are manually hand typing it into a calendar in PPT and Excel today. Thanks!

Please WF! Improve the calendar functionality...it is soooo limited. We are forced to continue to rely on exterior spreadsheets because the calendars will not pull custom forms data.

Just found this after posting a similar request (face palm).


Hope this gains some traction. it seems like MANY users need this.

Amen! I'm emailing with WF support right now because I thought I must be using it wrong, but no, after reading your comments, it's pretty worthless. Actuals don't tell enough of the story and work can't be planned based on them.

This would be very helpful functionality for us as well.

Just saw this was moved to a status of "Not Planned". I'm curious why this one didn't make it into the next 12 month development window.

Is someone from the Workfront product management able to elaborate on why this idea did not make it in the product roadmap? Thanks!

What is the status of this? I check on these from time to time and on 10/11/18 I have a note that the status was "under consideration".

Totally agree, and voting for this as well!

Currently with the calendar we can pull the dates when our teams work on projects (which helps with capacity planning), but we can't pull the campaign start and end dates, which would be critical for us to have for campaigns panning.

Thanks!
