Third Quarter 2025 release activity for Adobe Workfront Planning

This article describes the features that are releasing for Workfront Planning during the Third Quarter 2025 release.

For a list of all features released for Adobe Workfront Planning, see Adobe Workfront Planning release activity: article index.

Custom quarters availability for the Workfront Planning timeline view

With this update, when you configure custom quarters in the Project Preferences area of Setup, the custom quarters are available for the Timeline view in Workfront Planning.

Prior to this update, the custom quarters were only available for Workfront’s reporting capabilities.

With this improvement, customers who have purchased Workfront Planning will view an updated experience for defining custom quarters. This update includes the following improvements:

Gaps and overlaps between the quarters are no longer accepted.

You can set up to 100 custom quarters. Prior to this update you could set up only 8 custom quarters

There are no changes in the custom quarter experience for customers who have not purchased Workfront Planning.

For more information, see Enable custom quarters for projects.

Calculate all dependent formulas at the same time

We have introduced an improvement that updates all formula fields dependent upon each other at the same time after a referenced field is updated manually. Formula fields that are 2, 3, or 4 fields away from the field whose value is manually changed and that reference each other will now automatically update at the same time.

Prior to this improvement, only the directly dependent formula fields were updated when the value of a references field was manually updated.

For information, see Formula fields overview.

New expressions added to formula fields

We have added the following expressions to formula fields:

Prior to this enhancement, these expressions were supported only in Workfront calculated custom fields.

For information, see Formula fields overview.

Filters, columns and additional fields added to the Planning tab in the Requests area

We have added the following functionality to a list of requests in the Planning tab of the Requests area:

For information, see Submit Adobe Workfront Planning requests to create records.

New experience when breaking down records in Compact mode in the timeline view

We have changed the experience when breaking down records in the timeline view and you have the Compact view applied.
With the new update, when you define your breakdown objects while you display the timeline in the Compact mode, you are prompted to switch the view to Standard after you finish configuring the breakdown conditions.

Prior to this enhancement, defining the breakdown conditions was not possible when displaying the timeline view in Compact mode.

With this upgrade, the Standard option is the default choice. Prior to this, the Compact mode was the default.

For information, see Manage the timeline view.

Update the timeline view settings to define the look and feel of the connected records’ bars when using the Breakdown option

You can now format the look and feel of the record bars in the timeline view for the records in the breakdown. You can update the following settings for the bars of these records:

Prior to this enhancement, you could only format the bars of the main records as they display in the timeline view, and you could not format the bars of the connected records.

For information, see Manage the timeline view.

Export the table view to a CSV or Excel file

We have added a new capability to Workfront Planning where you can export information visible in the table view to a CSV or an Excel file.

Consider the following when exporting information from the table view:

For more information, see Manage the table view.

Workfront Planning connected fields are now supported when importing records using a CSV or Excel file

You can now populate the values of connected fields when you add records to a record type using a CSV or Excel file. Only connected Planning record fields are supported. Fields displaying connections to other applications are not supported.

This change is supported when importing a CSV and Excel file to create both a record type and records for an existing record type.

Prior to this enhancement, connection fields could not be populated when you imported records.

For information, see the following articles:

Inline editing in the Connected records page of a record

You can now edit records in the Connected records page of a record. With this update, we have introduced the following:

Prior to this enhancement, the table of the Connection view page was read-only for record connections.

For information, see Manage the record page layout.

Planning area visible by default in the Main Menu for Standard-license users

Standard and System Administrator users can now find the Planning area in the Main Menu by default, without being assigned to a layout template that includes it. All other users must have a layout template that includes the Planning area assigned to them in order to access it.

Prior to this enhancement, users with all license levels had to be assigned to layout template modified to include the Planning area in the Main Menu in order to access this area.

For information, see Adobe Workfront Planning overview.

Row-level color formatting in the table view

For better visibility of the important information of your records, we have introduced row-level color formatting for the table view. You can now choose a color for each row after you define conditions for each choice. This is a new capability that did not exist before this update.

For information, see Manage the table view.

New setting to truncate long record names in the Standard timeline view

You can now enable a setting in the Bar style tab of the Settings box of a timeline view to truncate longer record names, when displaying them in the Standard view. The setting is disabled by default and can be enabled only when you display the timeline view in the Standard mode. As this setting is disabled, information on the record bars displays expanded, by default. Prior to this enhancement, information on the record bars was truncated by default.

For information, see Manage the timeline view.

Sharing permissions for record types

To better control who can view or manage records in each record type and ensure that only authorized people can manage each record type’s information based on their roles and responsibilities, we have introduced permissions at the record type level.

Prior to this enhancement, you could share only workspaces with others and the permission they were granted to a workspace applied to all the record types in the workspace.

We have introduced the following updates:
