Dumb question... how to create a Enterprise Formula Custom Field

[letapia]

Guys, I'm writing because I've tried and search but can't get it ...
From PWA I created a Project Custom Field "MyField" of type Text with the
formula
"Hello World", I tried with " and '. When I open a project the field returns
#ERROR. I published to see if magic happens, but nothing.

I did the same with type number and formula 10, same result.

So In the end, I can't get any formula to work. What am I doing wrong ... I
googled with no success.

Perhaps try opening the project and hitting the F9 button to refresh calculations?

Does the same thing happen with task level fields?

Letapia:

"Hello World" is not a formula, rather it would be considered "text." Do you
have a formula to share? Post that and I'm certain one of us can help you.

two things
1) "Hello World" is a formula, I just tried to simplify the example for a
text function.
2) As dumb as it sounds, F9 solved the problem. I thought it was automatic
updated when you open in project pro. I also verified thatn automatic
calculation was checked in Tools > Options. Now I feel dumber than ever ...
but I still can't find that tip anywhere ... thanks guys.
