Project for the web - bulk task assignment

Hi, is there an option in project for the web to assign multiple tasks to a person at once?

  • Hello plyshag ,

    There are ways you can quickly assign resources to a task in Project for the web, but no bulk / mass option in the UI. Some of the easiest approaches to assign resources to a task are below:

    Using the Board - Group by Assigned to view and just drag the tasks to the resource:

    Or using the People view:

    Both of these approaches assume the resource already has at least one assignment in the project. 
    If you are looking for a bulk / mass assignment process, you could look to build something using the scheduling API: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/project-operations/project-management/schedule-api-preview
