Custom text values in MSPS

[Ellen Lehnert, PMP]

I have changed the name of Enterprise Project Level (not outline level) text
codes in the Enterprise Global. Codes required used values Enterprise
Project text 1-13. When I use these codes in the Project Center view, 1-10
show the new name, 11-13 show the text name and number. I can insert these
values in a table and see the correct value. I see the correct value in the
Project Information box as well as the edit area with Project center and the
save as box when saving a project plan. The only place they revert back to
the original names is on the view in the Project Center. Any ideas???

What happens if you do the following:

1. Open one of your projects
2. Click Project - Project Information
3. Confirm that all of the custom enterprise Project field values are
correct
4. Click OK
5. Click Collaborate - Publish - Project Plan
6. Click OK when prompted
7. Navigate to PWA
8. Click the Projects menu

Do you now see the correct values in the Project Center for the project you
just published? Let us know.

Here is the test:

Created a new project plan:

I see the fields and names - project information box:
save the project as test 2
I see the fields in the save as box
Published
Checked the server - they are there now -
Between publishes of project 1 and project 2, I had added the codes - that
is too weird - it is interesting that it would show up everywhere except in
the Project Center and the publish fixes the problem.

Thanks for your help. I'm sure I will see you and Gary next week. Tell him
I said "hi".
