Custom Enterprise Field not update from My Task or My Timesheet

Question





I have created a Custom Enterprise Field using Lookup Table and I am add this field in Project Professional and on My Task and My Timesheet view. 
I am able to edit and publish the Field from Project Professional and see the values under My Task. But if i update the value of the Enterprise resource from My Task or My Timesheet under PWA, it does not get reflected in the MS Project Professional. 

My environment is MS Project Server 2010 SP1 CU Abril 2012 and client MS Project Professional SP1

Please tour comments to resolve this behaviour

Thanks 

Answer 1

Take a look at the usage view in Project Professional. You may see it there as assignment level information is visible there.

Custom fields are set at the Project, Task or Resource level.

The relationship looks like Project --> Task -->Assignment (what you see on Tasks/Timesheet) <--Resources.

Unless you enabled Rolldown on the server, the value is not pushed down to the Assignment level. When the value is updated at the assignment level on the Tasks or Timesheet view, it is NOT pushed up to the Task or Resource level value.

Hopefully, this makes sense. It might be better if you share the problem you are addressing.

Hi Treb.

The Enterprise Custom Field is  Task Level and is active "Roll down, unless manually specified" on "Calculation for Assignment Rows".

Data (Lookup table) is visible in Task Usage View in Project Professional and I can to choose this values. But if I update the value of the Enterprise Custom Field from My Task or My Timesheet under PWA, it does not get reflected in the MS Project Professional.

Do you have any idea for this behaviour?

Thanks

To confirm, the approval was processed and the project republished? If so, it should work.

Yes, the approval was processed and the update in Enterprise Custom Field is watched. After I open the project and insert the column with Enterprise Custom Field but the data approved not is here.

I tried to check this behavior creating a new Enterprise Custom Field and new Timesheet View and the data is saved into the table MSP_TimesheetLine_UserViewCF but is not reflected in the corresponding field in MS Project Proffesional
