Cards not moving to appropriate column when status is changed

When the status of a connected card’s linked object is changed directly on the object, the card does not move to the appropriate column. If the object status is changed on the card, or the card is dragged to the new column, the card behaves as expected.

Notifications

Marking notifications as seen does not persist

When a user marks their notifications as seen and then navigates to a different page within Workfront, the notifications icon still shows the number of unread notifications that existed before the user marked them as seen, and the notifications still list when the user clicks the icon. This continues if the user marks them as seen and navigates to another page or back to the original page.

Updates

Issues with tagging in legacy commenting experience

When a user is tagged in a comment in the legacy commenting experience, the following issues occur:

• Only the user’s first name is present in the comment
• The user’s name is not marked with an @ symbol
• The user’s name is not blue
• The user’s name is not a link to that user’s profile

The user does receive an email notification regarding the tag, as expected.

Cannot attach a document to a card

When a user attempts to attach a document to a connected card, the user can select the document to attach, but the document does not appear in the document area of the card, and the document is not attached to the object that the card is connected to.

This has been reported in cards connected to issues.

Card appears on multiple sprints

When a user is viewing a sprint on Boards, cards that are in different sprints appear on the board. This issue is intermittent.

Card doesn’t close when using Boards view in a Project

When a user is viewing the Boards view on a task list in a project, and creates a card, the card does not close or save. This prevents the user from returning to the project.

To close the card, the user must edit the URL to remove “board” and anything to the right of “board.”

Cards persist when changing iteration

When a user is viewing an iteration on a board and then changes the iteration, the cards displaying for the new iteration are the cards from an iteration the user was viewing previously.

Error in Comments section of cards

When a user is viewing a card and scrolls to the Comments, section, comments are not displayed, and the user sees the following error:

“Something went wrong. Please try again later.”

Issues when viewing subtask status

The following issues have been reported regarding viewing subtask status on a card in Boards:

• The status is shown as “Select status” even when the task already has a status. This status can be seen when viewing the task directly.
• If the user attempts to select a status, the screen goes blank and must be refreshed.

“You have no access” when viewing comments on a card

When a user attempts to view comments on a card that is not connected to a Workfront object, they see the following message:

“You have no access to view comments on this object”

This may occur even when the user could previously see comments on the card.

Custom forms

Cannot bulk add or bulk remove custom forms on template tasks

If a user attempts to bulk add or bulk remove a custom form on a template task, the form is not added or removed, and the user sees the following error:

Let’s try that again. Invalid Parameter: templateID value “XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX”

If the user locates the template with the specified GUID, then attempts to add or remove custom forms on the remainder of the template tasks, the error will reoccur using another templateID.

Custom forms can be added or removed on a single template task. This error applies only to bulk addition or removal.

Portfolios

Custom terminology does not apply to group page

When a user sets custom terminology at the Portfolio level, the terminology does not apply to the group level page.

Setup

Cannot hide optional statuses

When a user attempts to hide optional statuses on a system and group level, the status is not hidden. If the user views the status, the option to hide the status is not enable, even though the user did enable it and save the changes.

Default issue statuses missing from some issue types in Setup

When a user is viewing issue statuses in Setup, they see that the default statuses for issues (New, In Progress, and Complete) are missing from some types of issues. Default statuses do not have the option to change the issue type, so the user cannot reconfigure the statuses to display for the affected issue types.

Teams

Issues with setting team statuses for Done button

The following issues have been reported regarding statuses for the Done button when editing or creating a team:

• Some statuses may be missing from the Done button area of the New team window or the Team Settings area of an existing team.
• If the user attempts to save the team, they may see the error “You must select at least one status in each category.”

Templates

Error when attaching template to project

When a user attempts to attach a template to a project, they receive the following error:

“Whoops! Something went wrong. Please contact Workfront so we can figure out what went wrong and fix it.”

This occurs when the user does not have View permission to a custom form attached to the template.

Updates

Comments do not transfer between old and new experience

A comment made in the legacy commenting experience may not be visible in the new commenting experience. The reverse may also occur.

Completed cards not loading properly on dynamic boards

Previously, the only way to include completed work on a dynamic board was to load the cards as archived cards. Otherwise, completed cards were not loaded on the board at all. This caused issues with being able to locate cards.

Now, when creating a dynamic board, completed cards are loaded by default as archived cards, but you can select Do not archive completed cards to load all completed cards on the board as visible cards in the Completed column.
