People Picker in Project Detail Pages - Not Working for Already Created Projects
Hi, I have a non-mandatory field (say, "Expert") in PDP. When I create a new project, I can select the "Expert" using People Picker. When I try to open an existing project (to assign/reassign an "Expert") the People Picker feature does not work. Custom scripting is already activated. Any insight from users, as to what configuration changes should be made, would be much appreciated. Thanks
Project Remaining Duration as of Status Date
In a Project schedule, The % Complete entered during an update doesn't seem to push the task Finish Date as it should. The task has a Start date of 6/9/25, Finish date of 9/23/25, duration of 14.95 weeks. The Status date is 9/12/25, Actual start 6/9/25 (on schedule) but progress is 2% Complete, Remaining Duration is 13.45 wks. When I click Update Project and reschedule uncomplete work to start as of Status Date (9/12/25) the Finish Date remains 9/23/25. Shouldn't the Finish Date push to approx. 12/12/2025 based on the % complete and remaining duration? There are a handful of tasks in this schedule with a similar issue, so I would like to find out what causes this, so we can make the task Finish Dates update as you would expect when updating % complete and Remaining Duration on tasks as of the status date. If someone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated. There are no date constraints on the task, and "Split In-Progress tasks" is selected in the Schedule Options. We are using a 4 day a week/10 hours a day calendar. We assign Generic Resources to tasks but this particular task is NOT resource loaded. This task is linked with both a predecessor and successor, and both the predecessor and successor are statused 100% complete. Could this be why Project isn't updating the Finish Date for this task, since its successor is complete? We are using Project Server. This project has been published with the status date of 9/12/25.
Recent changes could not be saved. Refresh the page to undo the changes and continue working
Hello, Over the past few days I have experienced challenges with the Project for the web part. It consists of changes not saved in the project folder. Instead, this error message appears. "Recent changes could not be saved. Refresh the page to undo the changes and continue working. Correlation ID: 6883f5fd-35f0-4bef-8423-8e5bf2dfd36f" What does this mean and what must be done so that I can use Project for the web again? Best regards,
Change Print Page Order
Hello, I'm looking to see if someone can help me find how to change the order that pages are printed in Project. Personally, I know this doesn't matter because you can just line them up as you like, but my job has me make PDFs of them as well and my boss would prefer the order to be different, so if possible I'd rather find a way to make it do it the way he'd like automatically than me re-arranging the PDF pages and editing the page numbers. Essentially, they want it to show the entire date line of the gantt chart first before showing the next set of rows. I've attached 2 screenshots of the print preview, one is the order it currently is (focusing on the rows first) and the 2nd is the order my boss would like (focusing on the gantt chart dates first). Is this possible and if so, how do I go about setting it up?
What is a best practice for linking Just-In-Time Tasks?
In MS Project, what is a best practice for linking Just-In-Time tasks, so that a task is scheduled to take place just prior to another task, without use of date constraints or overriding scheduling logic? As an example, I have a task "task prep" that I want to complete just before "important task" starts. "Important task" has other Finish-Start predecessors that determine when it starts. The only thing driving "task prep" is that it must finish just before "important task" starts. These tasks have slack in the schedule that I want to maintain, so I can't use As Late As Possible constraint without pushing both tasks to the right and using up slack. There isn't a task preventing "task prep" from starting, so if I link "task prep" as a predecessor to "important task" with Finish-Start (FS), with As Soon As Possible, then "task prep" will be scheduled to happen long before I want to perform that task. If I use Start-Finish (SF), then the start date of "Important task" drives the finish date of "Task Prep" The dates line up, but SF dependency type is generally not recommended. Also, I do not want to use date constraints, as these are generally not recommended. How can I link these tasks so that "task prep" finishes just before "important task" while adhering to accepted scheduling standards?
