Critical tasks on Gantt chart view on SharePoint project Site

Hello,

 

We are on Project server 2019 on Premise system. The projects are published to the PWA and have connected a SharePoint site for the project. The SharePoint project Tasks page shows project schedule task in list. The Task list has a Gantt Chart view . Is there a way to see Critical tasks on Gantt chart view of Project task list?
If not, are there any possible ways we could extend Gantt view to show Critical task.

    It sounds like you want to customize the information shown on the Tasks page in PWA. If that is the case, you can add the Critical column to the My Assignments view (which is listed in the My Work section of the Manage Views page. Hope this helps.

      Thank you, Dale. The task list is on PWA Project SharePoint Site.
      The Project schedule is synchronized to the SharePoint Task list on Project site. I don't see option in the task list to select/set Critical Task.

        If you are using the SharePoint Tasks List feature in Project Web App, then no, there is no way to display a Gantt Chart or Critical Path. Sorry, but hope this helps.

    HI,

    as Dale mentioned, since you are using the out of the box Task list in the project site template that sync is not available to us to configure or change, so if the critical path or any field is not in available unfortunately you don't have much options when it come to the site. we built something to achieve this requirement (i want to see it all in one place) but we did it in reverse, we rollup all the SharePoint data to PWA and then we display it all in project detail pages
