Project for the Web (P4W) Baselines or Due Dates
Hey All, Are baselines or due dates planned for P4W? Do we know when they will be added? Is there a workaround in the meantime? Related question: where does the data for the custom columns ...

I regret to tell you that four years after Project for the Web was released, we still do not have the ability to save a Baseline for our projects. Without a Baseline, we cannot track and analyze variance. I would surmise that this feature will be released eventually, but I have no idea when that will happen, or what form it will take. And to the best of my knowledge, there is no workaround available. If you truly need the Baseline feature right now, you might want to switch back (or migrate to) the Microsoft Project desktop application instead. Otherwise, we need to be patient and wait for the Baseline functionality to be released. Hope this helps.

Dale_HowardMVP adding the custom columns to the Project Task table as mentioned above has been helpful. We built a flow that will copy the finish date to a baseline finish date through a powerapp.
Baselines are now listed on the roadmap with rollout starting March 2024 Project Baseline with Project Level Variance
They've also added several other items: Lead/lag, Portfolios Microsoft 365 Roadmap | Microsoft 365- Thank you Bjhartline and i will give a try.
- The custom fields would need to be added to your msdyn_projecttask/Project Task Dataverse table. The custom columns in the P4W UI are not available anywhere else, PowerApps or PowerBI.
- HI, Bjhartline
Would you please share how to build a flow through a powerapp? I used Microsoft Project Dashboard Power BI to fetch the data but i did't find the custom fields as i tried.
Thank you!
