Unable to view Project-for-the-web tasks in Power Apps

Posted on by HansPNW

In Power Apps, I am trying to view the tasks in a Project-on-the-web project, but they are not displaying.

Via Apps > Project, then, under My Active Projects, clicking a Project-for-the-web (P4W) project, then clicking that project's Tasks tab, instead of the tasks loading, I get the following error message:

The tasks grid is taking a long time to load. If it does not load, please follow the steps in the documentation to address the issue. aka.ms/po-tasks-grid-setup-documentation

The instructions at the link provided are not helping; specifically, where it says to "Validate the PEX Endpoint has been correctly configured," I'm completely lost. I found nothing in Power Apps, on the web, etc. on what, exactly a PEX Endpoint is, or how to "Add the PEX Endpoint filed to the Project Parameters page."

Per the link, I have set Edge to allow popups from the specific Dataverse environment.

How can I view the Project-for-the-web tasks in Power Apps?

I am having exact same problem. Supposedly simple setup, just well hidden.

After hours of working with Microsoft support to (unsuccessfully) solve the problem, I dragged a colleague in to help, and he figured it out:

The tables only show in Edge if, in Settings, you set Tracking prevention to Basic.

If you have Microsoft's recommended Balanced setting or the Strict setting, the tables don't show.

To explicitly state the subtext of that prior sentence: Power Apps full functionality doesn't work in Microsoft's own browser, with their officially recommended setting (it literally says "recommended" in the UI).

Further, the troubleshooting instructions (not accessible via a clickable link, by the way) to which you're directed when the table doesn't load, say nothing about the problem.

There's a simple work-around if you don't want to use Edge with the Basic tracking setting: Use Google Chrome (which works fine, a fact I discovered when Microsoft's support directed me to use Chrome instead).

Microsoft support suggested that I report the issue officially somewhere, instead of letting me know that they themselves would report a problem with their own product to their own organization, on my and their customers' behalf. So much for Kaizen. However, they did apologize for all the time and effort I wasted on the issues, which was friendly. And it was helpful that they recommended I use Google Chrome, not Edge, when I need to see my P4W tables in Power Apps.

Solved!!
Thanks to this answer.
Saved my ass.
By the way, I personally really hope Microsoft sort all its products lines well and stop launching apps which have similar functions.
It is a joke even its own browser does not support one of its hit product.

Hola, buenas tardes

Saludos, desde Colombia.

Intente cambiar de navegador, pero aun recibo el mismo error

"La cuadrícula de tareas está tardando mucho tiempo en cargarse. Si no se carga, siga los pasos de la documentación para solucionar el problema. aka.ms/po-tasks-grid-setup-documentation"

Por favor si pudieran ayudarme, ya intenté de todo, licencias, Roles, Actualizaciones, verificaciones de configuración,

pero nada funciona.
