Changing Owner of Project in Project Web Access

[brantleyd]

Once an Enterprise Project is created, saved, published and closed. I
attempt to open view the custom Fields in Project web access. I have noticed
that changing the "Owner" of the project in PWA has had some adverse effects
on PWA and Project Pro. Once the project owner field was changes and saved I
then opened the project in Project Professional and viewed the Project
Information tab and noticed that Custom Field Data was missing. Additionally
once I attempted to use any of the lookup fields that had been created for
these fields only a few of the options would populate. It appears that PWA
and Project both are having issues accessing the data in the tables. Any
help would be much appreciated.

What version of project are you using? If it is 2007, sounds like your
cache needs to be cleared in order for the Project Pro to show the custom
field values correctly. This is a known issue with 2007 if users have
accessed Project Pro and you have then changed custom field definitions
after the fact.

There is a client side hotfix for this which will also be included in SP1.

Jonathan,

Thanks for your feedback; We are using Project Server 2007 and we a in the
midst of an implementation of the entire EPM suite. I am working through
several issues that I have identified and will post any unique one I have
discovered. I am working feverishly to identify any and document all issues
to be communicated to our project managers.
Thanks,
Brantley
