Issues with task priority and ressource
Hello, I have an issue in MS Project while scheduling my project based on my resources and task priorities. I have 2 projects: Lot 1 (priority 700) and Lot 2 (priority 600 hence less prioritized). I have a resource named "D-Q" which is assigned very late to my task "[Lot 1] A" (see yellow line in the picture), resulting in the task finishing on 10/10/25. Project assigns my resource "D-Q" to tasks in Lot 2 (see green lines in the picture) which are less prioritized, but I don't understand why. Furthermore, my resource "D-Q" is not assigned to any task for 3 weeks (from 18/08 to 07/09) ? I get these issues after updating the project from 16/07/25 and leveling all resources. And my task type is "Fixed Units" . Thank you in advance for your help 🙂
Row height issue
Hello, I have been facing recently issue with automatic row adjustment (Microsoft® Project 2016 MSO (Version 2505 Build 16.0.18827.20102) 64-bit): anytime I make any change on any of the rows, Project automatically changes the heigh of some of the rows into random height. Selecting/unselecting Wrap Text does not help - when clicking the Wrap text, the rows are readjusted to single line, but when I make another change in Gant (eg update % Completion), the rows height changes again. So basically after every change in gant, I need to select or unselect Wrap Text (the same result ) to get back single line per row view. I went throught the forum and tried advices: Bar Styles - check all on row 1, Bar Styles - bars without text, Bars/Layout - decrease the bar heigh. Nothing helped so far. Can anobody help, or is it a SW bug?

Hi all, I am currently working on a custom solution that integrates multiple functionalities interacting with Project Online data. As part of a new requirement, whenever a team member submits a task update in timesheet, I aim to provide Project Managers with the ability to approve task updates directly from a custom page. My initial approach was to utilize the Project REST API (_api/ProjectServer), but I have not been able to locate an appropriate endpoint that supports this functionality. Could anyone kindly guide me to the specific REST API endpoint (if available) that can be used to approve task updates? Any insights or alternative approaches would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Regards Shruti Vyas
