Project for the web tasks in To-do app
Hi everyone! Since uservoice cannot be used anymore, I hope this post will be read by a MSFT product group and take the suggestion in consideration 🙂 MS To-do (and/or Tasks by Planner) slowly but surely becomes the central place for tasks around the product line, but one missing piece of the puzzle which I am sure everyone would love is the ability to see the tasks from Project for the web assigned to me in To-do / Tasks by Planner. It is great already that Planner tasks are in to-do (for small/agile projects), but when it comes to complex/waterfall this feature is missing. Does anyone know if this is planned somehow? I could not find anything in MS roadmap... Thank you.SolvedNicoNov 10, 2021Brass Contributor38KViews27likes42CommentsBulk Edit Not Working
I would like to bulk edit tasks, specifically the Task Calendar. I highlight multiple rows (2 or more), select Information -> Advanced -> Calendar and then pick a calendar, but no changes are made after clicking "OK". This process used to work for making batch edits, but for some reason no longer makes the changes, regardless if it is Calendar, Name, Dates, Durations, etc. I have closed the program. I have opened multiple files. Same result each time. Please advise.SolvedKdekruifSep 22, 2023Copper Contributor6.2KViews1like41CommentsOpening and Viewing Option for Two MS Project Files Simultaneously on Two Screens?
Hi Can two MS Project files be opened on two different screens at the same time? This option is should be there as it is for other usual MS software like Word, Excel etc. Hope this can be fixed as will ease out while working from two parallel files simultaneously. Appreciate if this can be looked at, please asap. Looking forwardSolvedMZ_RasheedNov 15, 2021Brass Contributor146KViews1like40Comments"We Couldn't Open Your Project"
We have a new licensed user who cannot access a project in the "new" Project. We can add her in as a group member just fine. However, when we attempt to assign a task, we get a pink bar that says, "Couldn't assign resource. Please try again. Correlation ID: 9ff6991b-3508-4488-b271-b54a4ba11ef2." Also, when she attempts signing onto the project via the URL she gets a message stating, "We couldn't open your project" and a Correlation ID of "6489d1c3-aeaa-4346-ad94-ac42ec3e2f2" Any idea what this issue is or how to resolve it?John FitchSep 18, 2020Copper Contributor15KViews1like38CommentsProject for the Web - Project Tasks Custom Fields - Power BI Reporting
Hello, We're able to add custom fields to Project Tasks table in the Project for the Web, which is a great feature. However, according to this documentation (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-a-custom-field-in-project-839d206f-b314-48f5-aa06-79140db93b94), it says "To reuse custom fields [in Project for the Web], create a copy of the project. Custom fields can't currently be used across projects or for PowerBI reports." It appears we aren't able to use Custom fields for PowerBI Reports. Are there any workarounds for this? Coding, API, power automate, or anything? Is there anything scheduled in product roadmap to make this feature available? Thanks, AdilAdil365May 04, 2022Copper Contributor12KViews0likes30CommentsProject Online / SharePoint Modern UI
Are there any options for using the SharePoint modern UI with Project Online? It would be nice to be able to utilize a modern page 1) on the PWA landing page, and 2) on the home page for each of the project sites. Has anybody done this yet? And if so, are there any caveats or tricks to make it work properly with the project site template, etc.?Michael SheaJan 12, 2018Brass Contributor27KViews11likes30CommentsEnd dates of Subtask are appearing wrong

Hi, I am struggling to find right software for a production scheduling application, for a fast moving manufacturing environment. Eventually I reached to Microsoft Project plan 3 free trial. I find it promising but it is missing the possibility of adding machines etc in the projects. I request to advise on: 1. is the Project right product for a production scheduling purpose? 2. In what form, I get Project so that I get features such as adding machines etc? I am bit confused with Microsoft products available (Project 3 or 5 or Project desktop), before I buy the license, I need to confirm if its possible or not? 3. Does Project desktop still available to download for individual purpose. Please bear with me if this is not the right forum, please direct me suitably.mkjainSep 06, 2024Brass Contributor2KViews0likes29CommentsExcel Reporting : Can't connect to calendars with OData anymore
Hello there, A few days ago, some of the Excel reportings I'm maintaining for a client stopped working because they get an "access denied" error when accessing data. I'm using OData connections to get relevant informations from both the data sources below : https://xxx.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/projectdata https://xxx.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/projectserver/calendars('calendarid') The first data source is the usual one to get all the projects-related data. This one seems to still work fine when using the Admin account (authenticated using the "Organizational account" authentication type). The second one I used to get the calendar exception list from the Standard calendar. It worked fine too until a few days ago and now I can't access it anymore, even with the Admin credentials. When I try to reconnect to the data source I meet a message that says "We can't authenticate you with the given credentials. Try again.". Did the authentication method for calendar access changed these last days ? Has anyone encountered this issue ? Thank you very muchRomain_BrunelMay 06, 2024Copper Contributor2KViews0likes28CommentsUsers are not able to open Projects from O365 in Chrome to MS Project on the desktop
So we are running into an issue that appears may be attributed to a Chrome update. I am looking to gather feedback from others to see if you are experiencing the same issues as us. When a user logs into O365 and they navigate to Project Online, they locate the project they want to view and then they try to open it using the MS Project Pro software installed on their system. The normal result is the project opens without issue. What is happening now is MS Project opens but the Project itself fails to open. The current workaround is to use IE. Have you experienced this?SolvedJon OstroushkoFeb 15, 2018Brass Contributor15KViews0likes26Comments
