How to add a custom field like %Complete filed

[fenglei]

Anybody know how to add a custom field like %Complete field.
That means, if a task change value, all its parent task and child change
value also.

Hi,

Look at using formulae from the Tools, Customize, Formulas menu item.

Hi Rod,

Thanks for you answer.
But after I try formulas, I also do not know how to do that.
I need add a customized text, named "mstatus".
The function is:
1. When a parent task mstatus field change to "StatusA", all its
child task change to "StatusA" automaticly.
2. When a child task mstatus field change to "StatusB", which is not
same as parent task mstatus, the parent task mstatus will change to blank.

Could you give me a formula example like this?

Thanks
Fenglei

Hi,

Formulas only take values from the task itself and some from teh project
level, never from parent or child tasks, I'm sorry.
Wjhat you ask for can be done by a VBA procedure.
You will also have to define what must be done in case of multiple levels,
and what when a parent task changes to A AND a child tasks to B.
If you give me such precisions I am willing to publish teh VBA code here.
