    Hi @PYI

    If the build was set up properly, yes, only make the change to the intake sheet. Here's what else would need to happen as well:

    -The PM Name would be set up as Profile Data in SCC so it would appear in the Summary section at the top of the Project Plan (standard process) or you could have all Profile Data on a separate sheet.

    -On the Project Plan, you'll need a Role column and an Assigned To column. The Role column is usually prepopulated as part of the template of tasks. The Assigned To column is an INDEX MATCH formula, or you could maybe get away with a VLOOKUP, and it pulls the Assigned To in by comparing the Role column on the Project Plan to the Role row on wherever the Profile data is located.

    I hope that helps.

    Hi @PYI

    If the PM value is linked from the intake sheet, you should be able to change the value on the Intake Sheet and it will then update the Project sheets automatically. No Global Update needed for this one.

    I hope that helps!
