Dependencies on Cloud Based Project

Im using the cloud based version of MS PROJECT. I’m running into a glitch on simply connecting dependencies. I could connect dependencies at one point but now they show up and I cannot choose them. Anyone else experience this? Thank you.

    I am currently having the same problem. It was working fine a few days ago.

    Select a block of tasks that you want to link, right-click anywhere in the selected block, and then select the Add Dependency item on the shortcut menu. Does that work for you? I just tested and it does work for me. Let us know and we will try to help you.

      Dale_HowardMVP This did work for me. Hoping it goes back to the intended format via the timeline or dependency column or even via the "open details" prompt. Thank you!

      Thanks, Dale. This works for me. It's an extremely slow process compared to how I normally do it... but it does work for now.

      Tested, I can set simple FS dependencies using the right-click method successfully, but when I try to set via the timeline, they don't stick and the lines disappear when I move to another tab (e.g. Boards) and back.

    Same, I believe. This was working fine last week, and now when we try to add dependencies to a task it is not possible.

      M_Altobelli Thank you for the response. Confirms the issue could be MS. It was working good for me around noon even. Plan on checking agin in the AM. I wonder if there is a way to submit a “service ticket” anywhere.. I’ll let you know what I see.
