Project Online 'Submit' button is greyed out and the workflow is stuck at processing stage.

I created Project Online workflow using SharePoint Designer 2013 and published it. The workflow contains no errors as validated on SP Designer 2013. I create a project using the EPT that is linked to...

It seems like the workflow doesn't work anymore. I have tried modifying the workflow to change from a stage to another by publishing a project as the workflow below. After I published the workflow and tested. Once I published the project, the stage doesn't change. Not sure if I miss setting up something in Project. I've activated in Site Settings as below:

Site Collection Administration > Site Collection Features 
1)    SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure
2)    SharePoint 2007 Workflows
3)    Publishing Approval Workflow
4)    Workflow
Site Actions  > Manage Site Features 
1)    Project Proposal Workflow
2)    Project Web App Connectivity

    Hello Arintra​ If your Microsoft tenant was created after 2nd April 2024 then this is probably why this does not work as Microsoft disabled the SharePoint 2013 workflow feature when these new tenants were created after 2nd April 2024. Do you know when the Microsoft 365 tenant was created?

      Hello Paul_Mather​ 
      Thank you for the information. I am checking with IT when the Microsoft 365 tenant was created. I think it has been created for a few years ago, but definitely Project Online site was just created early this month. Is the retirement timeline applied to Microsoft 365 tenant or Project Online site?

      If I use Power Automate, is it connected to PWA and the Workflow Stage Status still shows tracking of the workflow?


      Since my project has not reserved budget for Power Automate license cost, is there any other solution than Power Automate?
