Hello oskarkuus ,

Please confirm what you are trying to do, are you trying to add additional options in the Status list here:

 

If so, I'm not sure that would be supported. If you are trying to do something else, please confirm. If you are trying to programmatically set the Status value for a roadmap item - that is possible. See a blog post I wrote a few years ago for Project Online data: https://pwmather.wordpress.com/2019/05/27/sync-msproject-roadmap-row-item-status-with-projectonline-task-status-using-microsoftflow-cds-powerplatform-msflow-rest-sharepoint-workmanagement-office365/ 

You would just need to change the first few actions to remove the Project Online part.

      Hello oskarkuus ,

      I would say that is not a supported change as the Roadmap UI and code will not know anything about those new Status options you are trying to use.

        To bad.
        I am really struggling to mark projects with a status.

        In the project itself there is no status.
        In the roadmap there is none.

        How to know what projects are avtive, waiting, paused or finished.
