How do I bulk modify priority for multiple tasks simultaneously?
I've never used the multiple task information method but I did try it on a test file and it works fine. I'm using Project 2019 Pro under Windows 10.
You show a series of screen shots with the last one supposedly showing no update, but the Priority field is not shown in the screen shot so I have to question, how do you know the update didn't "take"? For reference, the default value of the Priority field is 500 so if you "set" the tasks to that value you wouldn't know it.

Thanks John-project for the quick reply.
If you compare the columns in the 1st step's snapshot with the 4th step's snapshot, you can see that the 6th column is the priority value and it is unchanged.
That's interesting that it works for you but not for me. I wonder if it has something to do with the different version I'm using.

Sorry, I didn't see the Priority field in your screen shots. My eyes ain't what they used to be 😞
It could very well be due the 22H2 update, I recently saw another post (unrelated issue) where the user had the 22H2 update. Since you're using Project Online I don't think you can "back out" of the update but perhaps colleagues Paul or Dale have more insight on that update and will check in to this thread.

Thanks, John-project.
I'd like to just clarify that I'm using an "on-premises" version of MS Project (meaning it's installed on my computer and I don't have to log into a website).
