Change current field value using BeforeTaskChange event Project 20

[Gísli Snæbjörnsson]

Hi.
I am trying to update the selected field value for a task using the
ProjectBeforeTaskChange event. I listen to a speciffic character '?' and if
that is entered in the field I display a list that the user should select an
item from. I am using the task.Text1 field but even if I set this value when
I return from the Eventhandler the '?' is still displaying in the field.
Any ideas on how to overwrite this value with the value selected from the
list? I have tried the following and it hasn't worked


tsk.Text1 = "123456";
tsk.SetField(PjField.pjTaskText1, "123456");
Application.ActiveCell.Task.SetField(PjField.pjTaskText2, "abcd");

None of this worked, am I perhaps missing an update call or something, like
UpdateTaskValues() ?

Thanks in advance
regards
Gísli

the cancel variable is false at the end of the code?

Yes the Cance variable is false. I have tried setting it to true in the end
but then it the value displayed is the previous value entered.
