Add support for Lookups on custom columns

According to?

Hi Christoph, 

Thank you very much for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum regarding the availability of the “Add support for Lookups on custom columns” feature in Dynamics 365 Project Operations. 

I appreciate you taking the time to share your concern, especially since the release plan currently shows this capability as planned for General Availability in June 2026, but it is still not available in your tenant. 

As a moderator, I truly wish there were a way for me to directly confirm the exact rollout status for your specific tenant. However, our role here is limited to providing general guidance by offering clear next steps, sharing applicable resources, and directing you to the appropriate support channels so you can work with the right team to investigate further. 

Based on the information available in the Microsoft release plan, this feature is planned for General Availability in June 2026. However, when a feature is listed with only a month for General Availability, it does not necessarily mean it becomes available to all tenants at the beginning of that month. Microsoft notes that the delivery date can be any day within the listed month, and release timelines may also change. 

This feature is expected to allow Lookup data type fields to be added as enterprise task custom columns in the task grid. It is also described as being enabled by default for customers once released, with no additional configuration required. 

Therefore, if the feature is not yet visible in your tenant, it may be because the rollout has not yet reached your environment or region, or because deployment has not fully completed for your tenant. This does not necessarily indicate an issue with your configuration. 

At this point, I would recommend the following next steps: 

1. Please ensure that your Dynamics 365 Project Operations environment is updated to the latest available version. 
2. Continue monitoring the feature availability until the June 2026 rollout window is fully completed. 
3. If the feature is still unavailable after the expected rollout period, please ask your organization’s IT administrator to open a support request with Microsoft Support through the Microsoft 365 admin center, so the product/support team can review your specific tenant and environment details.

Hi Christoph, 

Thank you for your follow-up question. 

At this time, I’m afraid I’m not able to directly confirm the rollout status for specific tenants or environments from the Microsoft Q&A forum. As a moderator, I do not have access to tenant-level deployment information or internal rollout details, so I would not want to provide an inaccurate confirmation. 

Based on the public information currently available, I also could not find any official Microsoft article or public source confirming that this feature has already been released to specific tenants, or that it has been postponed beyond June 2026. The release plan still lists the feature as planned for General Availability in June 2026, but it does not provide a specific tenant rollout status or a minimum Project Operations version associated with this capability. 

• You may also refer to the Dynamics 365 Community forum, where other Dynamics users, partners, and product experts may share additional experience or updates related to this feature.
• 

If you need further confirmation for your specific tenant or environment, I would recommend asking your organization’s IT administrator to open a support ticket with Microsoft Support through the Microsoft 365 admin center by selecting Help & support. The Microsoft Support team will be in a better position to review your tenant, environment version, region, and rollout status directly.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

If I see any official documentation update or announcement regarding this feature, I will update this thread as soon as possible.
