Different Enterprise Fields For Different Project Types

[Nisarg Shah]

Hi All,

This is my first post here. I am sure many people will come out to my rescue.


Here is the problem :-

I am using MPS with SharePoint for a client who has various different type
of projects. Now the requirement is that, according to the type of project
being published, the ENTERPRISE CUSTOM FIELDS should change. For eg., Say a
Project Enterprise Field is renamed "Project Category".

Now, if the Value of the above field is say
"A" - then the Enterprise Custom Fields to be filled should be say
"EnterpriseTaskCost1", "EnterpriseTaskText1" and "EnterpriseTaskText2". Out
of which the first two are mandatory.

But if the Value of the above field is say
"B" - then the Enterprise Custom Fields to be filled should be say
"EnterpriseTaskCost2", "EnterpriseTaskText2" and "EnterpriseTaskText3". Out
of which only the first is mandatory.

This should be reflected in all places where we need to fill those fields.

Eg.
1. "Project Information" Dialog Box in MPP
2. "Edit" Link for Projects in PWA (where fields should be displayed
according to the field named Project Category)
3. etc.


Thanx a lot in advance.

PS :- We cannot use non-enterprise fields separately for separate projects
as there is nothing like "NON-ENTERPRISE PROJECT FIELDS".

You can't reprogram Enterprise fields like that on the fly. You will need to
use VBA code to decide on which fields are required. There are still all the
local fields which are non-Enterprise, but can't be reported on easily
across multiple projects.
