What's the timeline for accessing Planner Premium via Dataverse. PowerBI is a make-or-break point and I not even seeing it on the official roadmap for Planner and I'm concerned that the Project for the Web app and CDS/Dataverse functionality may be going away. Don't know what tool to use and don't want to waste time chasing the roadmap.
Agreed; I am trying to simply bulk add tasks to a Planner Project. They have removed the Excel import capability, but you can export. If you cannot use to restore then much efficiency is lost. You can no longer import a .mpp file. Lastly, I just found out through many attempts that the Power Automate to add tasks to premium plan projects is also not supported.
- Power Automate cannot create records in the msdyn_projecttask table.
- The Dataverse plugin ProjectServiceCore explicitly blocks this.
- You’ll always get the error:
"You cannot directly do 'Create' operation to 'msdyn_projecttask'. Try editing it through the Resource editing UI via Project."
- This restriction applies even if you're an admin and have full Dataverse access.
This is very disappointing. This is a basic capability in numerous tools for fractions of the cost. I have been using MS Project since they were on 3.5" floppies, and this is almost a deal breaker. I lobbied for this product for my GCC thinking what better tool to leverage all the Microsoft tools we already use...Teams, Outlook, O365, etc. and to now have a fully integrated, more collaborative PM tool (Planner) sounded perfect. There are already many other limitations and now this one.
- Power Automate cannot create records in the msdyn_projecttask table.
