Third Quarter 2026 Reporting enhancements

This page describes Reporting enhancements made with the Third Quarter 2026 release to the Preview environment. These enhancements will be made available in the Production environment as noted.

For a list of all changes available at this point in the Third Quarter 2026 release cycle, see Third Quarter 2026 release overview.

Changes to Actual Hours in custom formulas

In 2025, a new Actual Hours field was added to the Workfront database as actualWorkRequiredDouble, and the existing Actual Hours field (actualWorkRequired in the database) was renamed Legacy Actual Hours. See the release note for more information.

In June 2026, 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.

Also, it is strongly recommended to use actualWorkRequiredDouble in all reports.

When replacing the field, note that actualWorkRequired stores values in minutes, whereas actualWorkRequiredDouble stores values in hours with decimal precision.

For more information on Actual Hours, see View Actual Hours.

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. When a custom currency data field is shown as a column or aggregation, values convert to the currency selected in the dashboard’s exchange rate toggle, unless the field is locked at the report level.

Reports that previously failed with a “restricted field” message after a second exchange rate currency was added now render. Planning currency fields remain restricted when multiple exchange rates are defined.

For more information, see Use currency fields in Canvas Dashboards.

Improved data accuracy in Canvas dashboard reports

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

Previously, a join between related records could repeat parent records once for each related record. For example, in a project report filtered to tasks assigned to a specific user, each project repeated once for every matching task. A KPI that summed project budget could show $6,000 instead of the correct $1,250.

There are no changes to the Canvas dashboard interface. Existing reports automatically return accurate data after this release.
