Deprecation of legacy billing and cost rate fields in job role list views
Over time, we have introduced enhanced rate management capabilities and dedicated Job Role experiences that provide a more complete and scalable approach to maintaining rate information. As a result, rate administration is moving toward these dedicated experiences rather than list-based management workflows.
With the January 2027 release, the legacy fields Billing Per Hour and Cost Per Hour will no longer be available in the Workfront API or in Job Role list views, including Filter / View / Grouping configurations (both direct references and text mode calculated columns).
As a replacement in reports, you can use the recommended Text Mode code (use costRates or billingRates as needed):
displayname=Test
listdelimiter=<br>
listmethod=nested(costRates).lists
type=iterate
valueexpression=CONCAT({startDate}," - ",{endDate},": ",{value})
valueformat=HTML
To manage and review job role rates, use the dedicated rate management experiences:
- Access and manage job role rates directly from the Job Role > Rates page.
- Use Rate Reports to review, analyze, and report on rate information across job roles.
No action is required to prepare for the change. However, administrators who currently display Billing Per Hour and Cost Per Hour fields in Job Role list views should update their workflows to use the recommended rate management experiences described above.
For information on job role rates, see Create and manage job roles.
