Updates to button names when editing a layout template

To provide more consistency with other areas of Setup such as the custom form designer, the buttons you see when editing a layout template have changed to Apply, Save and Close, and Cancel. The new option, Apply, allows you to save your changes to the layout template and continue editing. Previously, the available options were Save and Cancel.

Improved field management with Active flag on custom fields

NOTE
Preview: October 30, 2025
Production fast release: November 13, 2025
Production for everyone: January 15, 2026

When you have large numbers of custom fields in the system, management of those fields in custom forms and reports can be difficult. You can now mark custom fields inactive with the new Active flag. This flag is available when working with a field on a custom form or when adding or editing a field from the Fields list.

If you mark a field inactive:

  • It is excluded from reports, filters, views, or other places in Workfront where you can add a custom field
  • It is not available in the field library to add to other custom forms

For more information, see Create a custom form.
