Disappearance of info in customised enterprise fields in My Tasks

[Sachin]

We use customised enterprise fields in the "My Tasks" views, inorder to view
additional information clearly (Avoiding the viewing of all info in a single
column of TaskName). The procedure followed is that a task detail is updated,
saved and submitted. The problem is that once the page is refereshed, the
information in the
customised fields is not visible - the fileds become blank. This causes
problems when we have to revisit the task for further updation, since
majority of the information is not visible. Why is it so?

This sounds like a bug that was corrected in one of the cumulative updates
(something tells me October 2008). What is the patch status on your Project
Server?

I was right the October CU fixes some issues with custom fields;

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958847

When you save and publish a project plan in PWA, the custom fields that use formulas are not recalculated.

Try updating to the latest CU (December 2008 atm) and see if that helps. Of
course as always testing it on a test environment before rolling to
production is advised.

Hope that helps,
