MS Project Import Size Limitations

Avatar

Level 2
I have a MS Project file with 8137 lines that I am trying to import into Workfront Preview for testing, however, I am receiving an error and am unable to complete the process. Does anyone know if there is a limitation on the file size that can be imported? If so, does anyone have suggestions on how to handle? Thanks. Christina Debonis New Jersey Resources

Hi Christina, I'm not sure about the import, but WF does have a limit of 5,000 Tasks. So that might be the issue. > https://experience.workfront.com/s/article/Creating-Tasks-in-a-Project-777691087

Hi Christina, As Vic mentioned, there is a 5k limitation on the amount of tasks on a project. That said, I typically see that error when there is a problem with the MS Project's timeline, or I've also seen it when using an old version of MS Project (2010/2013), and I've had success reimporting the .msp file into MS Project 2016, and re-exporting it as an xml file, then going through the process again. Give that a go, hopefully that helps. Thanks! Dustin Martin Assigned Support Engineer Workfront
