I have an existing workspace for a project. I used the PMO template to create all my workspaces.

I added a new sheet w/in the project's workspace and want to link the Project Name from the Metadata to this new Onboarding worksheet. The link shows up but the name does not appear. I've saved, exited, refreshed, etc. but can't get it to show up. It should say Project Apollo.

Is there some behind the scene connection that needs to be set?

Note: that same field is already linked to the Project Plan and it works fine.

New worksheet:

    Make sure the field name in both fields being linked is the same. One is Project Name. The other is Project / Task Name.

    Hi @Kathy PPT

    Can you try changing the text colour on the cell that "Project Appolo" should appear in on the new worksheet. It looks like you have a dark blue background and probably black text. Can you try changing the text colour to white?
