A user has found that in one role they can create a new Project Planning Line but in another, they can’t. Error says Project Task No. Is required. Permissions are by user so what’s going on? #MSDyn365BC28 Mar 2026 16:57 +0000at://did:plc:pfcpexzyw3yhtehal7e5rd6i/app.bsky.feed.post/3mi5435zjic2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/matnav.co.uk/post/3mgklq23brk2vAaaaahhhh!!!

I’ve spent a couple of days of personal time preparing slide decks and demo environments The organiser has been uncommunicative to put it lightly (unlike previous occasions). The agenda is out and I’m not on it I’m somewhat pissed off20 Feb 2026 12:26 +0000at://did:plc:pfcpexzyw3yhtehal7e5rd6i/app.bsky.feed.post/3mfc4644ubc25https://bsky.app/profile/matnav.co.uk/post/3m5im56lutc2uI’ve read a couple of articles about #PowerAutomate flows to automate the setting of an out of office in Outlook. However the formulas they recommend for start/end date times all feature utcNow() but in ways that make no sense. It’s volatile so would need to be part of an extended if statement no?13 Nov 2025 07:06 +0000at://did:plc:pfcpexzyw3yhtehal7e5rd6i/app.bsky.feed.post/3m5im56lutc2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/matnav.co.uk/post/3m5h5jz2yrs2uOi.
