If you confirm that you want to move forward with your connection, the selected records are removed from the original record and added to the record you’re currently editing.

To continue bridging Workfront objects to Workfront Planning records, we added a new field type in Workfront custom forms called Planning connection. By adding this field type on a Workfront custom form, and ultimately on a Workfront object, you can now do the following:

  • Display records connected to a Workfront object in the custom form.

  • Connect and disconnect Workfront Planning records form a Workfront object.

You can add the new field to forms for all object types. However, you can edit the information in the field only from forms attached to the following Workfront objects that can be connected from Workfront Planning record types: Portfolio, Program, Project, Company, Group.

Editing the Planning connection fields for Workfront objects in bulk is not yet available.

For information, see Create a custom form.
