Custom fields values do not appear in PWA custom views

[Annalisa]

Hi, in a PWA custom view some enterprise custom field values do not appear.
In this view I am grouping resources by value of the enterprise custom
fields, and few of them are grouped by the "None" value.
In the MS Project Client and in the Resource Center, the values of these
fields appear for all the entered resources.

what type of view are you trying to create?
what type of field is that you want to group by?

And what version of Project Server are you using? 2002, 2003, or 2007? Let
us know and we will try to help.

We are using Project Server 2007 with SP 1.

The PWA view is a Project View and I am grouping by two enterprise custom
fields:

(1) The first group is by the custom field "Cost Type" ; Entity: Resource ;
Type: Text ; 4 Values in a look-up table: "Internal", "External",
"Investment", "Licence"

(2) The second grouping is by the custom field "Organizational Structure" ;
Entity: Resource ; Type: Text ; 30 Values ca. in a look-up table, structured
in two levels.
E.g.
- Company 1
-- Department A
-- Department B
-- ...
- Company 2
-- Department F
-- ...

The problem is that for some resouces these fields appear empty in PWA (but
there is content in the Resouce Center or in the MS Client).
Moreover, in PWA, for Cost type resource the Work column has content (1h for
every 10k€ entered), while it is (correctly) empty in the MS Project Client.

cheers

I found the problem. The view was on the Resource table rather than on the
Assignment one (cf. Table and Fields section).
