Manage multiple plans effortlessly with the new Portfolios feature in Microsoft Planner
Hi Meet_Sanghvi,
any idea why statuses of my projects in the portfolio are all gray? I can select the status, but all selections appear as fully gray in the portfolio view. Please see the screenshot below:

Hi Mikahi , when adding a new plan to the portfolio, I face the same. The Status is plain grey. Per my understanding, normal behaviour as on this dashboard you need to manually alter the status of the project within the portfolio. Strangely, this is not being updated per the Plan. Let's say the Plan states it's becoming at risk, you would expect to see this on the Portfolio automatically. Maybe this is an improvement yet to come, as currently, I find working with the Portfolio still a lot of manual efforts.

Hi Mikahi , this is normal behaviour. On this 'dashboard' you need to change the status manually. I've been validating also within the Plan, where you can set a goal (target). Rows in the plan can be connected to the Goal (let's say a go live date). Though this is not connected to the view you show here. A missed opportunity and perhaps this will be adjusted in a future update.

Hi Thorvald79, thank you for your reply. I have selected for both projects manually "on schedule", but they appear fully gray without any text. Please see a screenshot below:

Hi Thorvald79 , I have the same problem. Did you find any fix to this?
