Project online: Status Manager Field
Hello NLuu-020321 ,
Using the Task endpoint in the ProjectData API, you will have the TaskStatusManagerUID.

Paul_Mather Thank you very much Paul. Cheers!
NLuu-020321 Also I would like to expand a bit more to help those who maybe new to Project and PBI.
To get Status manager's name, you will need to compare two datasets 1) Resources and 2) Tasks.
I used PBI, and get data via OData feed selection (put in your URL:
https://yoursharepointsite.com/sites/yoursitename/_api/Projectdata)
In the Resources dataset retrieve ResourcesId and ResourceName.
In the Tasks dataset, retrieve Task name, Project Name, and Task status manager UID.
Then merge two datasources to find the Status manager's name residing in what project and which task.
With that information, you know where to go make change and replace former status manager who left the company with the new one.

Have you automated the updating of the status manager? Here I am 4.5 years after last giving that a go and still coming up with nothing. While I can update the project owner without issue, I'm having trouble navigating user PowerAutomate to get into that field for each task. I can retrieve them all, but I'm not yet familiar with how to set them.Hi Ian, our team no longer uses Project, we had moved on to a different tool called Planisware. Another mountain to climb but it allows management to view everything in a bird view from not just projects but programs as well as portfolios. Best wishes, Nitaya
