First Quarter 2026 release activity for Adobe Workfront Planning

This article describes the features that are releasing for Workfront Planning during the First Quarter 2026 release.

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

Create record type hierarchies in workspaces

You can now define flexible but structured hierarchies between record or object types.

Hierarchies are connections between record types. You can have up to 4 record and object types connected in one hierarchy, and you can have up to 5 hierarchies in one workspace. The first record type in the hierarchy is the first parent.

You can use hierarchies to organize work and to visualize how strategy flows into execution.

Consider the following when building hierarchies:

For more information, see Hierarchy and breadcrumb overview.

New unified breadcrumbs added to records’ pages

When you create hierarchies between record types, they generate breadcrumbs for records that belong to those record types.

Record breadcrumbs reflect their place in a hierarchy. After you create hierarchies, you can see a record’s breadcrumb at the top of its page, indicating what other parent or children objects are connected to it. Hierarchies are consistent across Workfront and Planning.

For example, you can view a project’s Planning hierarchy when it’s connected to Planning record types in its Planning breadcrumb, and its Workfront hierarchy when it’s connected to Workfront object types, like Portfolios or Programs, in Workfront.

For information, see Hierarchy and breadcrumb overview.

Improvements to connected records pages

To give you more flexibility when working with connected records pages, we have enhanced the functionality of views in this area of Workfront Planning. The following are improvements in the connected records pages of a record:

For information, see Add a Connected records page to a record.

Share views in the Projects Connected records page

To make it easier to ensure to see the information you need, we’ve added the ability to share views to the Projects Connected records page. Now, you can share views with other users, teams, or groups.

For information, see Add a Connected records page to a record.

Current user wildcard now available in project connection view filters

To make it easier to filter for project connections that apply to you, we’ve created a current user wildcard. Now, when filtering, you can select “Me (logged in user).” The filter will then apply to the user who is viewing the request list.

This can be convenient when adding a filter to a view that multiple users will use. Each user will see filter results that apply to them.

The wildcard is available in fields where the value is a user.

For more information on configuring project connection views, including filters, see Add a Connected records page to a record.

Workspace main page improvements

We have made the following improvements to the Workspaces main page in Workfront Planning:

For information, see Edit workspaces.

Adding the Brand connection field to Products and Personas by default in the GenStudio workspace

The connection field with the GenStudio for Performance Marketing Brand is now added by default to the Products and Personas record types in the GenStudio workspace of Workfront Planning.

Your organization must have both Workfront Planning and Adobe GenStudio for Performance Marketing.

Prior to this enhancement, you could add the Brand connection field only manually to any record type, including Products and Personas. You can still manually connect the Brand GenStudio record type to other record types in Workfront Planning.

For information, see Get started with the Adobe Workfront Planning and Adobe GenStudio for Performance Marketing integration.

Restrict removing GenStudio for Performance Marketing users’ permissions from Planning

We have added a guardrail that prevents you from removing the permissions of GenStudio for Performance Marketing users from Workfront Planning objects. With this improvement, you can no longer remove GenStudio users from the GenStudio workspace in Planning, nor can you disable Inherited permissions for record types in the GenStudio workspace, if those permissions include GenStudio users. Prior to this improvement, when you removed these users from the GenStudio workspace in Planning, they would lose permissions to record types in GenStudio as well.

Your organization must have both Workfront Planning and Adobe GenStudio for Performance Marketing.

For information, see Get started with the Adobe Workfront Planning and Aobe GenStudio for Performance Marketing integration.

Removed public sharing of views on a global record type in a secondary workspace

We have removed the Public sharing tab when sharing a view for a global record in a secondary workspace. You cannot share a view publicly from a global record type added to another workspace from an existing global record type. You can share a global record type view publicly from its original workspace.

For information, see Share views.

Connect GenStudio for Performance Marketing Brands with Workfront Planning record types

You can now connect Workfront Planning record types with Brands from Adobe GenStudio for Performance Marketing. Your organization must have both Workfront Planning and Adobe GenStudio for Performance Marketing.

For more information, see Connect record types.

New field search box in the Filters, Fields, and Row colors icons in Planning views

You can now search for a specific field when building a view element in a record type view. We have added search boxes when you build a filter, sort, grouping, or when you configure your fields or row colors. Prior to this enhancement, you could simply scroll through the list of available fields.

This improvement is available in all record type views.

For information, see Manage the table view.

Global record types and the ability to add them as existing record types to other workspaces

When implementing Workfront Planning for a multi-team organization with common workflows, you might need to define a cohesive structure and metadata for key record types (like Campaigns or Deliverables) that can be added to each team’s workspaces to capture and manage their work.

Also, you might need each team’s work to roll up to a central level.

In such a workflow, you can ensure that teams capture their work consistently while unlocking cross-team visibility, without the need to add everyone in the organization to every workspace. You can use global record types to achieve this.

You can now designate a record type to be global and use it cross multiple workspaces. Users can use the same field structure and connections that are already configured in a central workspace.

For more information, see the following articles:

New limit for connection fields for one record type

We have introduced a limit of 30 connection fields for each record type.

NOTE: If your organization currently has more than 30 connection fields for one record type, you can keep the additional fields that exceed the limit of 30. However, you cannot add more connection fields to those record types that exceed the limit. Going forward, the new limit of 30 connection fields will be enforced.

For more information, see Connected Record Types overview.

Set user-friendly values for select-type field choices

When adding field choices to a single- or multi-select field, Workfront will now assign unique user-friendly values to each choice. Prior to this improvement, Workfront generated an alpha-numeric ID that was difficult to understand and use in API calls and other integrations.

Consider the following with this improvement:
