- rbuzeta,
It sounds like you got some bad information from whomever you talked to at Microsoft. The problem you report was recently reported and is apparently do to an artifact of a recent update. Please see this post:

rbuzeta,
You're welcome and thanks for the feedback.
By the way, if Microsoft still wants to charge you for the ticket, I would protest.

Good news!
I just checked that the latest update to Project Professional, version: Microsoft® Project® Online Desktop Client MSO (Version 2312 Build 16.0.17126.20078) 64-bit, fixes and restores the functionality of replacing selected task values, through Task Information dialog box (Task Information).
In addition to the automatic update, I remind you that you can try the update in bar menu > File > Account > Update Options > Update Now
Ignacio- I updated to this build: Microsoft® Project® Online Desktop Client MSO (Version 2403 Build 16.0.17425.20176) 64-bit. Bulk edit using the Task Information dialog box when multiple tasks are selected is not working for me. I was able to add the column "Type" to the view. Then I used the handle to copy "Fixed Duration" to the tasks below. A decent work around, but too bad I can't change multiple tasks using that dialog box. I used to be able to do this in previous desktop versions.

If you are using the Project desktop that is part of your Project Online subscription, according to this thread, the fix has been released.

However, if you are using the stand alone desktop version of Project, the fix has not yet been released although I suspect it will be within a week or two.Update 1/5/24: For stand alone desktop users, this issue is fixed with the January 4, 2024 release of version 2312 (Build 17126.20126 CTR)
