Can't edit custom task field

E

EMB2008

We are using Project Server 2003, we are using the timesheet view and
updating progress entering actuals and remaining work. We are also trying to
include a best forecast date for resources to populate in the timesheet view.
I have created and published and enterprise task date field calling it BFCD
and added it to the timesheet view..but the field is shaded yellow and the
resources can't edit it. The allow edit check box is checked when publishing
the field... is there something I am missing here? It doesn't help that they
can only see the field and not enter a date...

Any help would be appreciated..thx

Are you publishing the task level or assignment level? Make sure to choose
the re-publish option and if you don't have managed time periods on, also
make sure to check the box to "Overwrite Actuals".

You will have to publish each project with the customize>published fields
options set to "Let resource change field"

Something to think about. If you have multiple resource assignments and are
asking them to edit the task level date, and each resource edits the date to
something different, which date should it take? Therefore it will probably
be better to submit the assignment level value.
