Create local Custom Field(task level), Project Server2007 in PSI ?

[Psk]

I'm developing C#.net in Project Server2007, How to create Local Custom
field(non enterprise) in Task level for the particular project? I have tried
CUSTOMFIELD dataset, but it was created as enterprise level only, i don't
want that. Each project it may or may not be same as CF values. Wondering how
to Create and Assign values in lookup for each project, the lookup values are
changing for each project..

Plz help me !!! It's urgent..

Thanks in Advance !!!

I don't think a PSI app can create or change local fields. By their
definition local fields are local to project professional. I'm not sure they
are even published, so they would exist only as data in the draft db.

Rod is correct. You cannot read, update or delete local custom fields from
the PSI.

Hey,

For local custom fields, the only solution is to use VBA/VSTO. In this case,
since you have Project Server, I suggest using VBA because you can deploy
your solution in the enterprise global. I suggest you look at the Project
2003 SDK on how to work with custom fields.

Hi,
I hv gone through VBA, First i created one local CF Text1 (Task level) &
assign some value from the Project Plan. I can able to get the local
CF(text1) value for the particualar Task using the method of
ActiveProject.Tasks("Sample Project").Text1ActiveProject.Tasks("Sample
Project").Text1
Wondering, in which method is used to create new local CF and needs to
change the CF Name Text1 as (Category ID) and assign three values on the
particular CF Text1, so when ever you select the Field in the project plan
must be showing dropdown for selecting the Category ID..

Can you Plz suggest Me..

Quickest way to learn Project VBA is to record macros of you doing what you
want and reading the resultant code. Try renaming a text field and adding
lookup values whilst recording a macro and see what you get. If no code is
recorded for a feature (that's rare) it's likely you can't control that
feature thru code.
