Custom Field descriptions

How do I display the description or phonetic rather than
the value for a custom value field in PWA and Project Professional.

I can see the description while I'm selecting from the listbox, but I
can only see the number once a selection has been made.

I have found out how to access the Outline Code Field Descriptions but not
the Custom Field Descriptions.

This is really urgent. I am tearing my hair out on this one so any
assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks

Ian,

Microsoft is a litte schitzo on this subject. Sometimes they display the description and sometimes they display the value. How about using the description for the value instead of the values you've already defined? I know this isn't exactly what you wanted to hear but it will give you the result you want.

Obviously, if you've got lots of projects that have already made use of these fields this may not be an option but thought it was worth mentioning.

As far as I know there's no way to control display of the descriptions vs. values the way you're requesting for enterprise custom fields.
