Third Quarter 2026 release overview

Rich Text replacing Text with Formatting field type

The new Rich text field type in custom forms is a robust text editor, with formatting options such as superscript and subscript, headings, and tables, in addition to the traditional options of bold, italics, underline, bullets, numbering, hyperlinks, and block quotes. The character limit remains 15,000.

Native financial fields supported in custom forms

You can now include Workfront native financial fields in custom forms. Previously, the financial fields were not supported.

Custom forms can be shared system-wide with access to attach

A new sharing option, "Everyone in the system can view and attach," has been added to custom forms. When you select this option, all users system-wide can attach the form to other objects.

New system preference to enforce required fields in bulk edit

A new system preference now allows you to enforce required fields in bulk edit, so that bulk edited objects cannot be saved unless all required fields have values.

Print summary for documents in the new Documents area

[Off schedule]{class="badge neutral"}

You can now open a printable summary of a document's approval directly from the new Documents area. This feature is available to organizations using Adobe cloud storage.

Add a custom message to a document approval workflow stage

You can now add a custom message to each stage of a document approval workflow. The message appears in the approval email notification and in the Approvals tab in Workfront.

View Experience Manager Assets and approval status badges in the Documents area

Linked assets in the Documents area now display status badges showing whether a file has been sent to Adobe Experience Manager Assets along with its current approval status.

View Adobe cloud storage usage

The Customer Info page in Setup now includes a new Storage Overview section with usage meters for Adobe cloud storage.

Rate attributes cannot be edited once they are used on rates

[Off schedule]{class="badge neutral"}

[Workflow Ultimate]{class="badge informative"}

Once an attribute is added to a rate in Workfront, you can no longer edit that attribute and its filters in the Setup area. This preserves data integrity and prevents rates from being changed accidentally when attributes are updated.

Use custom data and views in Priorities

Priorities now supports the use of custom data in the columns. Open the column manager from the worklist to add custom fields you want to see in your column data.

Changes to Actual Hours in custom formulas

[Off schedule]{class="badge neutral"}

Existing custom formulas using actualWorkRequired (Legacy Actual Hours) were migrated to use actualWorkRequiredDouble (Actual Hours) instead. actualWorkRequired can no longer be used in calculations and formulas.

Custom currency data fields in Canvas Dashboard reports

Canvas Dashboard reports now support custom currency data fields as columns, filters, groupings, and aggregations, including when multiple exchange rates are configured in System Setup.

Improved data accuracy in Canvas dashboard reports

Canvas dashboard report queries are now structured to prevent duplicate rows when filters or fields cross related records, so counts, sums, and other aggregates return accurate values.

Introducing new request statuses

To get more context about what state your requests are in, we are introducing new statuses for requests: New, On Hold, and Canceled. The "Completed" status has been renamed to "Complete".

Predefined views added to the requests list in the Requests area and the My Requests widget

[Off schedule]{class="badge neutral"}

To help you organize your request list better, we have added the predefined views to the requests list in the Requests area and the My Requests widget in Home.

Updated look and feel for comment notification emails

[Off schedule]{class="badge neutral"}

Email notifications for comments in the Updates area have a new look and feel that aligns with the broader Adobe email design. The thread of preceding comments is no longer included in the email body.

Connect your AI agentic platform to Workfront with the Workfront MCP server

The new Workfront MCP server connects Workfront to a supported AI agentic platform, such as Claude or ChatGPT, so you can find, create, update, and manage Workfront items through natural-language conversation. Currently available only to customers in the US region using AWS.

Enhanced list updates

Multiple field types on enhanced lists have been updated to include keyboard navigation and other enhancements.
