Ent Custom fields blocks local formulas PS 2007

[Peggy Cornett]

Custom Fields (CF) are being populated in the Server Global, which then
populates any file opened on the Server. We are not making these CFs and
don’t know where they are coming from or why.
Normally, this should not be a problem. PS 2003 knows the difference between
Server level and project level local CFs and they don’t conflict with each
other. PS 2007 doesn’t always preform the same way and sometimes blocks
local Global CF formulas that should be automatically populating projects.
These formulas are simple calculation required by MPM, our EV tool. Is this
a glitch in the tool?

The local custom fields can be added, but should be done 1 of 2 ways:

1 (preferred) - add the calculations as part of the enterprise custom
fields. Then add the columns for the custom fields to the Enterprise Global
template.

2 - you can edit the Enterprise Gloabl template and create the fields there
as local.
