add a combo box to the timesheet

[deryasel]

Hi,

I want to add a status code field (Completed, Waiting for data,
Continue, Interrupted, etc.) in timesheet view to be entered by the
resource.

MY QUESTION: How can I add a combo box field to the Timesheet view in
Tasks page? Or a restricted field that doesn't allow any other text
than listed in the global template. Or do you have any other
suggestion?

We are using Project Server 2003; and I have tried as follows: I have
defined an Enterprise Text1 field in the Global Template which takes
restricted, certain values I have entered. (Only the given values can
be chosen from a combo box in MS Project Professional 2003)

Then I have followed the Tools - Customize _ Published Fields steps,
I added the Enterprise Text1 field to the list,
chosed the Assignment option,
checked the "Let resource change field" option,
then followed the Collaborate - Publish - Republish Assignments steps.

I have completed the steps for adding the field to be shown in PWA; PWA

Admin > Manage Views > Edit Timesheet

Then;
The team member can see and edit the Enterprise Text1 field in PWA >
Tasks page. However, the values are not listed in combo box as in MS
Project Professional 2003.

Thanks for replies,

Derya.

As you have learned, this is simply not possible. The grid object doesn't
support it.
