Use a function to update a project in a simple scenario in Adobe Workfront Fusion
Updating a Workfront work item is a common use case for Workfront Fusion. In this example, you will use a function to change the name of a project to be in uppercase letters.
Fusion includes many types of functions that allow you to transform and perform conditional logic on your data. For more information on using functions, see Map information from one module to another in Adobe Workfront Fusion.
This example modifies the scenario created in Create a basic scenario.
Prerequisites
You must create the scenario described in Create a basic scenario before following this procedure.
Use a function to update a project
Add the Update Record module to your scenario
-
Open the scenario in the scenario editor.

Hover over the partial circle to the right of the of the module, then click Add another module.
-
Select Adobe Workfront from the list of applications, then choose the module Update Record.

-
In the Select Fields to Map area, select Name.
A Name field will open.
Map the function for the name update

-
Click the Name field.
The mapping panel opens.
-
In the mapping panel, click the Text and binary functions icon.
-
Select the function upper.
The function appears in the Name field, including the formatting for the input it expects.
The input for this example is the name of the issue the project was converted from.
-
Move your cursor between the parentheses, because this is where the input will go.

In the mapping panel, click the module output icon.
-
Select the name block that was output by your first module.
The name block appears in the function.
