Workfront has some built-in guiderails that must be followed. If those rails are abandoned or are not amenable to your structure, then you're plum out of luck. Another thing I'd be remiss not to mention is their lack of documentation. Workfront has a pseudo scripting language that operates behind every automation or procedure and learning that language and all of its eccentricities was something that took a considerable amount of time given that there was zero documentation on it. Their API is also fairly mysterious, but in the past few years it seems that's been ameliorated.
