Actions menu not working in Project Management

When I hit the Actions button in the Project Tree view, I just get a little dot, which suggests that the menu has opened underneath the search/header bar, making the actions unavailable. Any idea how...

Hi Skyler,

Thank you for the explanation! Makes sense. I'd seen a similar artefact with the Unused Properties drop-down when building forms, but had worked out how to fix that.

I had hoped that there was an option in the Action menu to export the project tree to Word or Excel. Using the export functions at the top of the screen only exports a single line. The export to PDF is OKish, but does not allow for further formatting, or exporting from there to Word or Excel (all the text is gibberish). I've seen a export project in github, but it didn't seem to do anything for me.

Thanks again,

Tim

Tim,

This one? (https://github.com/ArasLabs/project-plan-excel-export) The project plan is a bit unusual, but the community project was designed for it. It should add a button to export to excel in the toolbar. If it doesn't seem to do anything, it might need updating. (It was my first community project, so I'm a little attached to it!) Do you see no new button at all?
