Can I get an upvote! "https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115005868768-Ability-for-System-to-Automatically-Maintain-Status-on-Issue-if-Resolving-Task-Project-Completed-Prematurely?flash_digest=c41d7b1e5b1d7f9e867083ad8a52955a18ba9daf&page=1">ABILITY FOR SYSTEM TO AUTOMATICALLY MAINTAIN STATUS ON ISSUE IF RESOLVING TASK/PROJECT COMPLETED PREMATURELY Ok, I am curious if anyone else has noticed this, has issues with this, or has a better solution than what we are currently using to mange this. Back in 2012 when we started using Workfront I noticed for Issues that we convert to Tasks (we keep the Issue linked) if the user accidentally changed a Task Status to Complete and then changed it back to In-Progress or some other status, the Issue Status remained Closed. The Issue does not update to reflect the correction on the Task. When I had reached out to the Help Desk they indicated that this was "working as designed"; once the Issue Status is set to Closed it basically ignores any additional status changes on the Task. This creates problems for us because our Issues are using facing and we don't want to be signaling to the requester that something is complete, when it really isn't. So how do we try to manage this? We use an exception report. We have a report that shows the Issue Status and the Task Status and if they do not match, someone has to manually fix the Issue to "reset" the status. This involves going to the Issue, editing the overview tab to save the current value in the Task field, removing the This Resolves value, and saving the change. Then editing the Issue a second time to set This Resolves to Task and pasting the Task name back in the field, and saving it again. In my opinion....a lot of work when it would be more efficient is the system was able to handle it and I wish I knew why it didn't (....it's the little things....). I opened an Idea on the Exchange over a year ago (03/14/17) and it hasn't received much support. Another mystery... As of today the vote count is up to 6. Am I missing something here? Is there a better way to handle this in a more automated fashion, without having to resort to an API? The integrity of information that we have available to our end users is especially important, so I'd like to make this as seamless as possible without all the manual work. If you have a better mouse-trap please share! :) Admin Kelly-Wehrmann SSFCU

REMINDER NOTIFICATIONS SHOULD LINK BACK TO THE PROJECT OR TASK Currently when receiving reminder notification the email received is static and doesn't actually link to the project or task being referenced. This causes confusion because tasks can have the same name under different projects. (e.g., copyediting, etc.) I'd like to suggest a "See it in Workfront" link be added to each reminder email to make it easier and more efficient to link to the item from the reminder.

ABILITY TO TRACK TIME IN MINUTES At our organization, it's very common to work on multiple projects a day, for minutes at a time. It would help to have the option to track time in minutes to get an exact figure of how much time is being spent on each project or task. Please upvote if you agree!

You couldn't open the comment, but you could at least see when the comment was made and compare it to the comment in the document's updates tab to reasonably assume that was the deleted comment. In the new proofing tool, the deleted comment is completely gone from the proof. If you go into the Proof Details > Activity, you can see that a user deleted a comment plus the date/time to make the same reasonable assumption. But it seems a bit of a time-suck to have to go into yet another location to verify proof comments. For our proofing use... We have users who reply to proof comments within the document's Updates tab rather than within the proof (generally only when that user's stage has already been locked so they are unable to reply within the proof). Then we have some users on a private proof stage, so their comments do not transfer to the document's updates tab. This means our team has to go to both the proof and the document's Updates tab to verify they've captured all comments/edits. And now with the new proofing tool they have to go to yet another place to verify a deleted comment. Ideally, integration between the proof and the Updates tab would be complete and if a comment is deleted from a proof it would also be deleted from that document's Updates tab. But I'd settle for the comment remaining in the proof with the line through it as the Legacy Proofing had or some notation in the document's Updates that the comment has been deleted.

Commit dates and where they're displayed within a task and their effect on Home has started to cause some confusion with our teams. It's hard to distinguish between a commit date and a planned completion date. Adjusting a projects timeline throws a wrench into things as well. Here's an existing Idea Exchange Ticket to change the UI and display the Planned Completion adjacent to the Commit Date: "https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360007989794-Task-Page-UI-update-Put-DUE-DATE-next-to-Commit-Date?flash_digest=a2d60dc4b1acad677a19548cfbdb37ecc158e938">https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360007989794-Task-Page-UI-update-Put-DUE-DATE-next-to-Commit-Date?flash_digest=a2d60dc4b1acad677a19548cfbdb37ecc158e938 Thanks All!

Hi, One of the thing is that we have to upvote the ideas. Also, it seems how important for individual point of view. I would request, that even if the new idea post by someone is not workable for individuals. But if it enhance the software capability and helps to perform even better. Then we should vote it. https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360017941533-Connect-Time-schedule-to-Timesheet Have a nice day and good weekend.

Hi All, I have just posted a new idea and would people to upvote if you agree! When adding a request to a task,w e would like to be able to see the full breadcrumb view to atleast project as, where we use task templates, the parent task won't give accurate information as to where they are at, they need to see the level above it.
