Hi all

I would like to find a way to modify a task as change start date, change finish date, or change duration in a task in Project for the web by Power Automate.

Truong Dai.

I see that Project for the Web updates the data to the dataverse, but when the data in the dataverse is modified, the system doesn't update in the P4W. So updating data in dataverse is not the solution

Also trying to do this. I tried using Update a row (dataverse action) to the Project Tasks table but I am getting error message
"We’re sorry. You cannot directly do 'Update' operation to 'msdyn_projecttask'. Try editing it through the Resource editing UI via Project."

    daibt Thank you, this lead me to a solution. I was able to change the dates on a task using Power Automate by using the msdyn_PSSUpdateV1 API.
