Why does SharePoint not sync with external links?
The error message should tell you that you cannot sync a plan with external links. Instead this is the message that you receive: The plan may save to the tasks list, but the .mpp is not saved to the Site Assets. Therefore, you cannot use the .mpp file again for updating the tasks list.
If the SharePoint list contains a field that is required, but the project plan does not contain the same field, then synching between the two lists will stop. Solution: Add the required field as a custom field in Project.
