Out-of-office work delegation

Now, you can temporarily delegate the tasks and issues assigned to you to other users when you plan to be out of the office for a brief period of time. This ensures that your absence does not become a roadblock to work being completed.

Prior to this enhancement, you could only delegate approvals.

New experience when converting an issue to a project without a template

To make your use of Workfront consistent with the new Workfront experience, we have redesigned the interface for converting an issue to a project without using a template.

In addition to an updated user interface that matches the rest of the new Workfront experience, we have also added the ability to convert an issue to blank projects from a list or a report.

Smart tagging in the update stream

We have improved tagging users in the update stream when you create a new update or reply to an existing one. Now, when you tag a user to include them in an update, in addition to their name and avatar, we also display their Primary Role and their email. This helps distinguish between multiple users with similar or identical names.

New syntax for calculations in custom fields

To prepare for future enhancements that will help you add calculations to custom forms, we have standardized the syntax for referenced fields that you add to a calculation. It's easy to use this new syntax because the system enters it for you when you start typing the name of a field and then select it.

Keep accurate information when two users with a common role are involved in an approval process

To ensure accuracy of your data for approving work, we have made a change in the way approval information is recorded on an item when a multi-role approval process is associated with the item.

Some approval processes require approval from two different roles, and two different approvers might have one of those roles in common. Now when this happens, after the approval decisions are made, Workfront records each approver and their respective role associated with the approval process.

Prior to this change, both approvals were recorded for the second user because they shared one of the approval roles with the first approver. In this case, the second approver was overwriting the first approver's information.

New experience when converting an issue to a project using a template at the issue level

To make your use of Workfront consistent with the new Workfront experience, we have redesigned the interface for converting an issue to a project when using a template when you convert it from the issue page.

You can now more easily access your list of favorites immediately after selecting to convert the issue.

The redesigned interface matches the experience when creating a project from a template which we have also updated recently.

Available on these dates:

  • Preview release: December 8, 2021

  • Production release: Phased rollout starting April 28, 2022 This feature was temporarily removed from the Production environment on March 4, 2022.

Convert issues to projects using a template from lists, reports, and dashboards

To increase the efficiency of your work and make it easier for you to convert issues in a fast-paced environment, we have added the ability to convert an issue to a project using a template from a list, report, or a dashboard.

Prior to this enhancement, this functionality existed only when you converted the issue from the issue page.

  • Preview release: December 8, 2021

Allocation hours will no longer be removed when making changes to assignments

To ensure the accuracy of your data, we have made a change to preserve allocation hours and to keep task Planned Hours unchanged when making changes to assignments on the task.

The following changes have been made to tasks with a Simple Duration Type:

  • Individual assignment allocations are preserved when replacing users and roles.

  • Individual assignment allocations are preserved on the role when removing the user.

Share folders only in the top five levels of a folder hierarchy (This links to the 20.2 release notes, when this feature was first introduced in Preview.)

To ensure the best performance for users sharing folders, we are currently limiting sharing to the top five levels in a folder hierarchy on an object.

Each folder at the sixth level or below inherits its sharing configurations from the folder directly above it.

Available on these dates:

  • Preview release: February 10, 2022

  • Production release: With the 22.2 release This feature is temporarily unavailable. This page will be updated when the feature is available in Production.

Available in these environments:

Workfront Campaigns (Beta)

We are introducing a new object to Adobe Workfront that has the potential to change the way you manage work.

Workfront Campaigns enables you to organize projects from different portfolios and programs in a new work container. Campaigns were released to Preview beta with the 22.3 release, in July 2022. For more information, see 22.3 Project enhancements

This new container will evolve in future releases to connect work objects that are currently managed in separate silos.

Available on these dates:

  • Preview release: Throughout the 22.4 release timeframe
    This feature is planned to be removed from Preview on January 9, 2023. For more information, see the 23.1 Release overview page.

Workfront Administrators can enable and disable SharePoint and legacy SharePoint integrations separately, based on the needs of their organization.

Enable automatic refresh token rotation in your custom OAuth2 applications

To allow you more control over the security of your custom OAuth2 applications, we've added to option to enable refresh token rotation. When this option is enabled, every time a refresh token is used, your application automatically creates and sends a new refresh token, and disables the old one.

Your application must store the new refresh token after every refresh. Workfront does not store this refresh token.

Previously, refresh tokens expired after a set amount of time configured in the custom OAuth2 application settings.

Available on these dates:

  • Preview release: May 5, 2022

  • Production release: With the 22.3 release

Available in these environments:

  • The new Adobe Workfront experience

Use PKCE in your custom OAuth2 integrations for Single-page web applications

You can now create Single-page web applications in your custom integrations using PKCE. PKCE is a secure authorization flow that works well with dynamically refreshing applications such as mobile apps, but is valuable across all OAuth2 clients. Instead of a static client secret, PKCE uses a dynamically generated string, eliminating the risk of a leaked client secret.

Previously, the available options for custom OAuth2 applications used either a user's name and password, or a client secret.

  • Preview release: May 5, 2022
