This article describes the features that are releasing for Workfront Planning during the Second Quarter 2025 release.
For a list of all features released for Adobe Workfront Planning, see Adobe Workfront Planning release activity: article index.
Link to view new request after submitting it
NOTEWe have made an improvement in the way you access a request that you submit in Workfront Planning.
We have added the “View your request” link which you can use to navigate to the details page of the request you just submitted.
The new link is available after you submit a request from the following areas:
- From a shared link
- From the New record or Request record button on the record type page
- From the Requests area, after you enabled the new experience for submitting requests.
For information, see Submit Adobe Workfront Planning requests to create records.
Create multiple objects from one record using automations
NOTEYou can now create multiple projects from the same Workfront Planning record when you use automations in Workfront Planning. You can create multiple projects and base the creation of each project on the values of a single- or multi-select field when you trigger one automation. You can use this capability only to create projects. You cannot trigger any other changes or create any other types of objects using automations in Planning.
Prior to this enhancement, you could create only one project every time you would trigger an automation configured for projects.
For information, see Create objects using Adobe Workfront Planning record automations.
Rename lookup fields
NOTEYou can now update information on lookup fields, after they have been added to a connected record’s table.
Prior to this enhancement, you could not edit existing lookup fields.
For information, see Edit fields.
Setup and manage multiple request forms from a record type
NOTETo help you customize your request forms for various stakeholders coming from different areas of your organization, we are now introducing the ability to create and manage more than one request form for a record type. Prior to this enhancement, you could create only one form for one record type.
All requests submitted using the different forms could create records for the selected record type. You can now have multiple request forms set up for the same record type. The forms are listed in a new Request forms table view on the record type. When you manage request forms, you can now edit, publish, share, copy, or delete a request form from the list of request forms on the record type.
For more information, see Create and manage a request form in Adobe Workfront Planning.
Easy access to published request forms on the record type page
NOTEYou can now access request forms from the New record button in the upper-right corner of the record type’s page. For users with View permissions to the workspace, the New record displays as a Request record button.
In addition to being able to create records manually as well as by importing a CSV or Excel file, you can now also create records from a request form from the record type page.
Prior to this improvement, you could create records using a request form only from a direct link to a form, or from the Requests area of Workfront.
For information, see Create records.
Add lookup fields from connected records in the Planning connection fields of Workfront custom forms
NOTETo easily access all information from connected records from Workfront objects, we have added the connected records’ lookup fields to the Planning connection fields in Workfront.
You can add up to seven lookup fields to a record connected to a Workfront object in the Planning connection custom field. As part of this improvement, you can now display the connected records and their fields in an easy-to-read table format in the custom form of a Workfront object.
For information, see Create a custom form.
Import records using a CSV or an Excel file
NOTEYou can now import records using a CSV or Excel spreadsheet from a record type’s page.
Prior to this enhancement, you could import records only when creating record types. With this update, you can import records to existing record types.
For information, see Create records by importing information from a CSV or Excel file.
Display the record name of a details page of a Workfront Planning request in the browser tab name
NOTEWe have updated the way the details page of a Workfront Planning request displays in the browser. Now, the name of the record created by the request displays as the browser tab name. Prior to this enhancement, the browser tab displayed “Workfront”.
Unified request workflow for Workfront and Planning
NOTEYou can now submit both Workfront and Workfront Planning requests in the Requests area of the Main Menu.
The following features are now available with this update:
-
A new toggle next to the New request button enables this experience in the Requests area. By deselecting the toggle, you can submit only Workfront requests.

You can find both Workfront request queues and Workfront Planning request forms in a unified searchable area.

Updates to the Connection view page of a record
NOTEWe have updated the Connection view of a record page with the following capabilities:

By default, only the first 5 fields of the connected record display in the table view. Prior to this update, all fields displayed.

Real-time presence indicators in a record’s details preview or page
NOTETo understand what information is edited by other users when working in a record’s preview or details page, we have introduced real-time presence indicators for this area of Workfront Planning.
The field edited by another user will now be highlighted, and other users’ avatars will be visible to you in the upper-right corner of the preview or details page.
For information, see Edit records.
Enhancements for creating Workfront objects when connecting them to Planning records
NOTEYou can now easily create projects, portfolios, and programs as you connect them to a record from an existing connection field.
The following features are available with this improvement:

A persistent Add button when connecting to a Planning record a Workfront project, portfolio, or another Planning record
-
Ability to add programs and associate them with a portfolio using a persistent Add button in a connection field.

Configure automations to create objects and records based on an existing record
NOTEAs a workspace manager, you can now configure custom automations for a record type to automatically create either a connected Workfront object or a Planning record.
The created objects or records are immediately connected to the record where the automation is configured and triggered.
For information, see Create objects using Adobe Workfront Planning record automations.
Examine and confirm actions taken by AI Assistant
NOTETo make it easier to ensure that AI Assistant takes the actions you intend, you can now examine and confirm those actions before there are executed. Now, when you enter a prompt that performs an action such as creating, updating, or deleting a record, AI Assistant displays the actions it will take and asks for confirmation that those are the correct actions.
Previously, this confirmation step was unavailable.
Functions added to formula fields
NOTEThe following expressions are now available in Workfront formula fields: ARRAY, ARRAYLENGTH, ARRAYELEMENT. Definitions and examples of each expression are available in the formula editor.
For information, see Formula fields overview.
Sharing Workfront Planning items with teams, job roles, and companies
NOTEYou can now share views and workspaces with teams, job roles, and companies, in Workfront Planning. Prior to this enhancement, you could share views and workspaces with users and groups.
For information, see the following articles:
Copying and pasting external text is now supported for connections and People fields
NOTEYou can now copy text from a source external to Workfront and paste it in a Workfront Planning connected field or a People-type field. This enhancement is available when editing records in the table view. The text must match an existing user (for People-type fields) or an existing record or object (for a connected record). You can copy and paste multiple values for multiple fields and update records in bulk.
Prior to this enhancement, you could only copy information from an existing Workfront Planning field and paste it in another field.

The following improvements are part of this update:

The new filter builders are available in all record views: table, timeline, and calendar views
Prior to this enhancement, you could add multiple filtering operators between single conditions and you could not join multiple condition groups together.
