Project for web Labels (Automatic Assign / Delete

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6

Hi,

 

In my work, we use Project for the web  for our project plans.  We use the labels option to tag tasks/workstreams by months so as to be able to quickly filter to see what work is happening in a given month Currently, this is a manual allocation of checking the start date and end date, and then assigning labels for them and any months in between. If a date changes, you go back over any changed dates and remove / add Labels

I'm trying to find out if it's possible via Power Automate (or another solution) to have the labels automatically assigned based on the Start and End date. either as an automated workflow that runs by itself, or if not possible them a manually activated workflow we can run when we've made changes.

 

Could really use some advice on this. 

 

I have limited experience with Power Automate, I believe it is possible to achieve the desired outcome based on what I have read and seen. (I'm keen to learn more about PA also, but struggle with getting started etc)

I was also directed to a similar request using planner rather than project that may be relevant

Example: Task 1

  • Start: 01/01/2025

  • End: 01/03/2025

 

  •  Labels that should be applied:

    • 'Jan-25'

    • 'Feb-25'

    • 'Mar-25'

 

Then if the task gets moved to

  • Start: 01/04/2025

  • End 01/05/2025

 

  •  Then the labels would change to (Removes Jan-25,Feb-25 & Mar-25)

    • 'Apr-25'

    • 'May-25'

Example: Multiple tasks showing labels use

    from what i've read it sounds like it should be possible but could use some confirmation and direction on what approach to take.
