Enable programmatic create, update, delete operations on Project Task and its related entities

Antti Pajunen on 10/5/2020 6:36:39 PM
Being able to programmatically CUD the Project Task entity is a frequently seen scenario in PSA+ProjOps projects. Many processes around project management require programmatic CUD operations to the PT entity and its related entities. Organizations have CR processes tied to new tasks, project template as well as programmatic project creation processes based on various different business scenarios. Power Automate nowadays further extends the typical requirements outside Power Platform to tools like Jira and inside the three clouds to tools like Azure DevOps and Planner so being able to CUD the Project Task entity is crucial.

RE: Enable programmatic create, update, delete operations on Project Task and its related entities

Gayani Suriyabandara on 11/10/2021 1:13:40 PM

When updating a Project task "msdyn_progress" field using Project Schedule API, it only updates the values 0 and 1. I cannot update any value in between (ex: 0.5).
Also, I cannot make the duration of a task to 0 after created ("msdyn_duration").
I'm using "msdyn_PssUpdateV1" to update the tasks.
the code i'm using in c#:
task["msdyn_progress"] = 0.50m;
task["msdyn_duration"] = 0.0;

Any idea on this?

I came here to post this exact same thing, thanks Antti. We should be able to do CUD operations through SDK/ OData as well as importing it using excel, power automate other integrations etc. This has to be there.

Without this, it will be very difficult for clients with Inflight projects to migrate to D365 Project operations from any other platform
