Hi, I have been using Microsoft Project for the web and the Teams chat connection with my development team. Unfortunately, something has happened since Thursday 13-02-2025 that means the chat window is not opening for a task (Microsoft Teams -> Channel -> Project -> Task -> Window) It is extremely annoying, as we use the chat to show examples of development (screenshots, etc.) Does anyone have the same problem, or a solution to how to solve the problem?

I need help with an error that occurs in the deployment of Project accelerator. The error is as follows: "Flow client error returned with status code "BadRequest" and details "{"error":{"code":"InvalidOpenApiFlow","message":" Flow saving failed with code 'OpenApiOperationParameterValidationFailed' and message 'Input parameter 'item' validation failed in workflow operation 'Create_a_new_record': The API operation 'CreateRecord' is missing required property 'item/msdyn_dayspermonth'.'."}} ". After the error occurs, reloading the page informs that the accelerator was implemented successfully. When working on the Accelerator we get an incomplete deploy, missing some features like "project suggestions" or some tab names, like the picture: Also we cannot edit the form, with the following message: This form is in a managed solution and cannot be edited525Views1like1CommentQuestion on difference PWA instances
Hi, I am researching how to setup permissions in PWA. I'm a SharePoint Administrator, so I understand those permissions and I see there is a way to change the permission management between SharePoint Permissions Mode and Project Permissions Mode. My main question is, do these permissions affect any PWA that others might have or is it only my instance of PWA? My manager wants a more fine-grained permission set, and it looks like it is best to use the Project Permissions Mode for that. Can I change my PWA and not affect any others as a way to test these permissions? Update: I see this page on manage-project-web-app-permissions-project-server-permission-mode suggests that this is the case, but kind of worried about changing permissions because the permissions are deleted when changing between each way. Appreciate any help! Thanks, MontySolved555Views0likes3CommentsProject Online - saved location
Hi, When I create a Teams, it basically creates a SharePoint site in the background. Is the same concept applied when I create a Project Online, that creates a SharePoint in the background? if yes, How can I find the SharePoint site that is tied my Project? (I only have a link to the Project) If no, Is it possible to manually link the project online to a SharePoint site? and how can I find the site(s) where the Project Online is linked.Solved47Views0likes1CommentIssue with EntityLinks in Project Online API
Hello everyone, I'm working with Project Online and trying to retrieve task data via the API. While reviewing the metadata, I noticed that PublishedTasks have a navigation property called EntityLinks, but I couldn't find clear documentation on its purpose or usage. What I Tried I attempted the following API requests: Retrieve EntityLinks for a task: GET https://{sitename}.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/ProjectServer/Projects(guid'{validProjectId}')/Tasks('{validTaskId}')/EntityLinks Expand EntityLinks within tasks GET https://{sitename}.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/ProjectServer/Projects(guid'{validProjectId}')/Tasks?$expand=EntityLinks Observations When the project has tasks, the request fails with: { "odata.error": { "code": "42, Microsoft.ProjectServer.PJClientCallableException", "message": { "lang": "en-US", "value": "PJClientCallableException: GeneralUnhandledException\r\nGeneralUnhandledException\r\nException = System.NotImplementedException: The method or operation is not implemented.\r\n at Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.BusinessLayer.EntityLinks.ThrowIfEntityLinksNotSupported()\r\n at Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.BusinessLayer.EntityLinks.ReadEntityLinksForEntities(Guid[] entityUids)\r\n at Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Wcf.Implementation.CSOMImpl.<>c__DisplayClass35_0.<ReadEntityLinksForEntities>b__1()\r\n at Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.BusinessObjectMethodInvocation.InvokeBusinessObjectMethod(String methodName, IEnumerable`1 actions)" } } } If the project has no tasks, the request returns an empty response without errors { "odata.metadata": "https://{sitename}.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/$metadata#SP.ApiData.PublishedTasks", "value": [ ] } Other navigation properties (e.g., Predecessors) work fine with a similar request. Questions What are EntityLinks, and what do they refer to? How can they be created via the UI in Project Online? Is there a way to retrieve them successfully through the API? I couldn't find references for this error or EntityLinks. Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!48Views0likes0CommentsIssue with EntityLinks in Project Online API

Hello, we have defined a calculated Task custom fields that displays an indicator about the Task Status: The field works perfect on all Plans, displaying task by task the indicator correctly. We have added this custom field in the My Tasks page as one more column: Even tho the Project has been published, and therefore the custom field has been recalculated and it has an indicator in the Project Plan, here in the My Tasks page it is not working. We cannot see any value (indicator or text). Is there something we are missing? Thanks!60Views0likes0CommentsProject for the Web - Project Tasks Custom Fields - Power BI Reporting
Hello, We're able to add custom fields to Project Tasks table in the Project for the Web, which is a great feature. However, according to this documentation (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-a-custom-field-in-project-839d206f-b314-48f5-aa06-79140db93b94), it says "To reuse custom fields [in Project for the Web], create a copy of the project. Custom fields can't currently be used across projects or for PowerBI reports." It appears we aren't able to use Custom fields for PowerBI Reports. Are there any workarounds for this? Coding, API, power automate, or anything? Is there anything scheduled in product roadmap to make this feature available? Thanks, Adil12KViews0likes31CommentsTimesheet Single Entry Mode
We have been using timesheet single entry mode to decouple actuals from the MS project file and user timesheet actuals. We plan to evaluate the users actuals from their timesheets in BI to reassess our baselines (specifically focusing on effort) and will ignore the actuals from the mpp file. This has worked as expected except for one scenario. When a PM marks a task complete in the project file and a user has logged any amount of time to the task in their timesheet, no project actuals push to the users timesheet (as expected/desired); however if a user has not yet logged any time against that specific task, the assignment planned work in the project file (now actuals) will push up to the users timesheet. We do not want any project actuals pushing to a users timesheet regardless of whether they have filled in their timesheet yet or not. We need the work actuals completely decoupled [timesheet work inputs do not update the project task status and project work inputs do not update the users timesheets]. Please help.67Views0likes3Comments
