Administrator enhancements

Add multiple value options from an external API to a custom form

A new field type, Multi-select external lookup, is now available on the custom form designer. When you have data stored on an external system, this field type allows you to load options from an external API and filter based on other field values in the custom form. This is the same as a single-select external lookup.

When the form is added to an object, the values returned from the API appear in a dropdown field and the user can select multiple values.

Announcements

New version of Workfront for Microsoft Teams

As , the Classic Teams client will no longer be available after July 1, 2025. To continue using Microsoft Teams and integrated apps like Workfront, customers must transition to the New Teams client before this date.

The updated Workfront integration is now available and fully compatible with the New Teams experience. In most cases, Workfront will appear automatically once users have transitioned. If it does not, the integration can be manually installed from the Microsoft Teams App Store. To install or verify the Workfront integration in the New Teams client, see Install ۶Ƶ Workfront for Microsoft Teams.

Workfront for Microsoft Outlook

, which are currently used by the Workfront Outlook add-in for authentication. This change by Microsoft has already started affecting customers and will continue to roll out in phases through October 2025.

  • After Microsoft fully disables these tokens, the Workfront for Microsoft Outlook integration will no longer function.

As part of this change, Microsoft has made the decision to change the way tokens are re-enabled. After June 30, 2025, admins will no longer be able to re-enable tokens themselves—only Microsoft Support can grant exceptions. On October 1, 2025, legacy tokens will be turned off for all tenants. Exceptions will not be granted.

We recommend using Workfront Automation and Integration for your organization’s integration needs with Google Workspace.
