Integration between Microsoft Projects and PowerPoint Timeline Add-In
It would be very helpful to be able to integrate Microsoft Projects to the PowerPoint Timeline add-in to be able to pull tasks directly from Projects with durations and % complete directly into PowerPoint to reduce the redundancy of having to keep the same tasks updated in two separate locations

Enterprise custom fields for Project for the Web Projects
Establish custom fields to be used by certain projects for portfolio reporting. Although you are considering adding capabilities for custom fields, it appears those would be added to each project by the project manager. Are we able to establish custom fields to be applied to projects within the portfolio that we select.

Project for the web - Threaded Comments
Perhaps this has already been suggested, but the way Planner allows to review the comments added to a task much like a SharePoint discussion is a great feature and it would be a great improvement to the new Project for the web.

Project for the web: Allow updating the Tasks entity via Flow to enable integration with business processes
Currently the Task entity in CDS is locked. Allow updating the Tasks entity via Flow to enable integration with business processes. Also adding additional fields to type the activities in the schedule, would be helpful.

Project for the Web REST API documentation and samples
It would help integration scenarios tremendously if the the Project for the Web REST API (e.g. "https://project.microsoft.com/pss/api/v1.0/projects") could be documented and rendered more accessible by providing samples. One scenario that would be fitting is the creation and update of tasks triggered by another tool/event.

Ability to add attachments to a taks / subtask / project
Hi there
We need the ability to add attachments to a task/subtask and a project in general. Same functionality as in Planner. Ideally we can add attachments from anywhere in SharePoint across multiple teams.
Cheers,
Fabrizio74 votesHi all!
Thanks so much for your feedback. I’m happy to announce you can now add attachments to your tasks in Project!
You can use this new feature by opening your task details in Project. The add attachment button is available at the bottom of that pane.
Please let us know what you think of this new feature!

Print or Export timeline schedule view
We should have the ability to print off or save a timeline or schedule, so that it can be shared with team members and outside partys without have to give others access to other information within that project.

Restore projects for Project for the web
If you accidentally delete a project, or if a person maliciously deletes projects (e.g. rogue employee), you MUST have the ability to restore a project or multiple projects. In addition, if a person accidentally or maliciously destroys a project, you MUST also have the ability to restore it as of a given date & time.
Please, make it so.

Task assignment notifications in teams
As in Planner it would be very useful if an assignee gets a notification right within Microsoft Teams when a task has been assigned. And also important, the ability to get notifications in Teams only and optional also as an e-mail.

Custom Field visibility within Power BI or Power Automate
Newly launched custom fields are local to project and not available in PowerBI reports or in PowerApps built on Project for the web.
Having the custom fields visible within Power BI would allow for more advanced filtering / sorting - which right now requires creating either separate projects, or a separate linked metadata table. With the custom fields, it would be easier to relate tasks to other data sources / and collapse the number of projects.

Filter Tasks, Resources and Dates
In the new Project add the ability to filter by task, by resource or by date
62 votesHi everyone!
You might have noticed that you can filter by string on the Grid view. You can now filter on task names and assignees (check the top right corner of your projects!)
I’m marking this as partially complete, as I know there were many other asks here. Please continue sharing your needs and scenarios around filtering.
Thank you!

Must have features for labels and column for status "In Progress", "Done", "Waiting" etc.
Unlike some other project tools, there are only states of a task - DONE or NOT DONE.
There should be a dedicated column to mark different statuses like "In progress", "Closed", "Waiting", "Completed", "Blocked" etc.

View my assignments
Maybe I missed it, but where does one see his assignments and can report upon completion (like My Tasks/Timesheet in Project)?
61 votesHi everyone! Thank you for the feedback. We are planning on adding a feature to support this scenario. We will keep you updated!

Allow more than 500 Tasks in a Project
Project is not allowing a project to include more than 500 project tasks. There does not seem to be published documentation of a limit to the number of tasks.

rest api
It would be ideal with the new project for the web to have project online like rest api connection e.g.,
https://<Base URL>/sites/pwa/_api/ProjectData
This will help in data extraction, reporting and to work with data sets.
