How do I set a primary resource and a secondary resource to one ta

[lburka]

I have a scenerio where I have a list of different tasks. For each task
there is a primary owner (which would go under the resource name field), and
for the same task there are secondary owner(s). If you import a new resource
name field, the resource names must be the same. Does anyone know how to
have a resource name field (primary owner) and a second resource name field
(secondary owner(s)), and not have them be the same? As well I would like
the secondary resource name field have the ability to have the drop down list
of all the resource names.

Thanks!

You could use Text1 field and rename it to secondary owner. You could
arrange it so that this was populated with the contents of the resource
sheet but then you wouldn't be able to select multiple secondary owners
(unless you populated the list with all possible combinations of
secondary owners).

Thank you very much. One follow up question. How do you arrance the Text1
field (which I have named secondary owner), to populate the contents of the
resource sheet?

Thanks again!

Right click on the column header and select Customise Fields.

At the top of the dialogue box make sure that the Custom Fields tab is
selected as are the Task and Text entries.

In the big list box, select the entry which corresponds to your column
(presumably Text1).

Then click on Value List and type in the resource names in the value column.

Once finished click on OK.
