Regarding the usage of PjAssignmentField in Microsoft Project
Hello, the following code is placed in the ThisAddIn class of a Project VSTO add-in. I want to execute other code when the field Text1 corresponding to the resource assigned under a task changes. The problem I am currently encountering is: When the Text1 corresponding to the resource assignment under a task changes, the message box "OK" does not pop up. However, in the "Resource Usage" view, when the Text1 of the task assignment under a resource changes, the message box "OK" does pop up. I hope experts can provide guidance. Private Sub ProjectBeforeAssignmentChange(asg As MSProject.Assignment, Field As MSProject.PjAssignmentField, NewVal As Object, ByRef Cancel As Boolean ) Handles Application.ProjectBeforeAssignmentChange If Field = MSProject.PjAssignmentField.pjAssignmentText1 Then MsgBox("OK", vbExclamation) End If End Sub
Embedded Object Keeps Returning
At some point, while working with Kidasa's Milestones Professional, I must have copied one of the charts I was working and pasted it into the Gantt section of my Project file as a drawing. I have deleted it countless times, but it always comes back whenever I close and reopen the program. It was initially attached to a timescale but I'm able to change the timescale or attach it to a task, with those changes remaining after closing and reopening the program. The chart is depicting an older version of the Milestones Professional file, rather than what it looks like currently, so it doesn't seem to be actively linked to the other file, if that's even possible with these embedded drawings. I've tried closing down the program and restarting the computer before reopening, and I've wanted to try to clear my cache, but the option to do so is greyed out. Any insights would be helpful. This isn't the end of the world, but it's annoying.
MS Project Master file won’t allow Duration/Deadline edits
I’m troubleshooting an unusual issue with a long-standing Microsoft Project Master/consolidated file containing multiple linked subprojects. After replacing one subproject with its latest monthly version, certain fields within that subproject cannot be edited from the Master file. Specifically, I cannot edit fields such as Duration or Deadline, while other fields, such as Text and Baseline fields, can still be edited normally from the Master. I’m sensing the theme has to do with fields that require calculation. More context: This issue arrived after we migrated MPP files from a cloud server to an on-prem server. Previous month’s Cloud server MPP file works fine in the Consolidated environment The master file creates the issue when I replace the cloud-based MPP with the current month on-prem version. Troubleshooting completed: The subproject works normally when opened directly. I created a brand-new blank MPP to use as the Master file and inserted the exact same subproject. Duration and Deadline are editable through the new Master. In the new consolidated file and repeated the normal download from on-prem/replacement process. Everything works correctly. The problem therefore appears to follow the existing Master MPP, rather than the subproject. F9/recalculation does not resolve the issue. The existing Master has been used for a long time and contains multiple inserted/linked subprojects and external relationships. Important constraint: I want to avoid rebuilding the Master or use a repair method that regenerates existing task UIDs. A higher-level consolidated schedule relies on the existing UIDs.Data access after Project Online (PWA) retirement
As the retirement of Project Online (PWA) approaches, some questions have come up regarding what will happen to the data and related content. I’d like to ask if anyone has information or guidance on the following points: What happens to the data currently stored in Project Online after the retirement date? Will this data still be available for viewing, export, or migration after that date? If so, for how long? Regarding the SharePoint sites linked to PWA, will they remain available? Will it still be possible to access or modify their content? Does Microsoft plan to publish official guidance on this transition? Any references or practical experiences on this topic would be greatly appreciated.In Task Usage or Resource Usage, is it possible to summarize hours by group through Custom Fields?
For example, in Project Professional's Task Usage or Resource Usage, if I use a Custom Field such as Text1 to group tasks and resources, can I then display summarized hours by group in the left-side timesheet column and in the Detail Styles on the right-side time scale?Calendar View in SharePoint Project Sites
In Project Server, a SharePoint site is created for each project. On that SharePoint site, there's a list of late tasks and upcoming tasks. There is also a Calendar view, but it looks like you have to manually add items to the calendar. How do I make it so that this Calendar will automatically be populated with Upcoming Tasks as shown on the SharePoint web page for each project?
How to download MS Project Plans along custom fileds including data
I have Project plans in project online. I am opening the plan in ms project, custom fields data is getting loaded. But when i try to save the file in local desktop, schedule data is saving but custom fields data is not coming only column names are coming. How to save the file along with task level custom fields with data in local desktop
Can anyone do this?
It’s a spreadsheet for construction activity sprints. I saw one in a work group and am trying to recreate it, but I haven't had any luck so far. I imagine it involves a formula; if it were manual, it would be a real hassle to have to enter the days of the week in the columns. If anyone knows how to set this up and could send me a file to study, I’d be very grateful!Getting Work Contour in Project for the Web
Hi In Project for the Web, the new Assignments view has been released recently. We would like to get to that data for reporting, for heatmaps and other reports. I've figured out that the Project for the Web schedule page reads from the PSS API using this call to actually read it: /pss/api/v1.0/projects(projectid)/assignments/?$select=taskId,percentWorkComplete,resourceId,work,start,finish,totalWorkContour&$startDate=2022-12-01T00:00:00.000Z&$endDate=2022-12-08T00:00:00.000Z&$segmentLengthInHours=24 It uses updateWorkContour to then update. I've found msdyn_UpdateAssignmentEffortContour in the Resource Assignments bound actions in Power Automate, and msdyn_PssUpdateResourceAssignmentContourV1 in the unbound actions. Of course, those don't help me, because I need to know what the current values are before trying to update them, or what I actually want to do to which is report. We initially thought that the data is stored on the msdyn_resourceassignment table, in msdyn_plannedwork, but realised that it only stores Remaining Work, once you start changing the progress on the assignment the completed days goes away. Does anyone know if there's a way to read the data using the DataVerse API? There's nothing I can find in the CSDL $metadata either
