Using MS Project Online: linking to SharePoint/Planner
Hi Andrew,
For the risks and issues etc. you will need a project site. Project Sites are controlled / set based on the Enterprise Project Type (EPT). With a PWA admin account access the PWA Settings > Enterprise Project Types, access the EPT/s, scroll down to Site Creation and check the option set. If you want all projects for all EPTs to all have projects sites, ensure "Automatically create a site on next publish" is set for each EPT. Next time those projects are published a project site will be created or to create project site manually as a PWA Admin user access PWA Settings > Connected SharePoint Sites, select the project then click the Create Site button. Once a project has a project site, you will be able to create risks, deliverables etc. for that project.
The linking to planner issue is not one I have seen before, I've seen it where it wont find Planner plans / Groups but in your case you can see the those but once you have selected the planner plan then click the Create Link button you get the error "Cannot create a link"? Do you get this for all projects in Project Online?

Thank you for the reply, and the helpful information about risks,issues, and deliverables. That’s really helpful.
For the question about linking, yes, I get it with all the Enterprise sites I create in Project desktop and then publish on the PWA. I have created a task list in Planner (I haven’t populated it), and I can see the Team and then the Task List I’ve created, but cannot link any of my tasks to Planner.

Hi Andrew,
I've not seen that issue before, probably worth open a support ticket for Project via your Office 365 portal.

I am facing a similar issue where I can create a link and do not have any error, but cannot see my tasks Planner. I have Project Online. I submitted a ticket through the portal and now waiting on answers. Were you able to resolve your issue?
Swetha_Singari Hello, what tasks are you expecting to see in Planner? You wont see the tasks from the linked Project in Planner but you should see tasks in Planner that you have created via the Planner UI.
