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.
