How to convert task fields to resource fields

[Anders]

I would like to display information/fields stored under a
seperate task (e.g. Text1) to be dispalyed in a resource
wiev. This means that the task field Text1 must somhow be
linked to the resource field Text1. Is this prossible or
do I have to write every piece of information twice?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Anders,

In the Task Usage View, Copy the task text1 to the Assignment text1
That will in turn be visible in the resoruce usage view
The alternative is a VBA routine;
Have you thought about how to handle multiple resources on a task? and
multiple tasks for a resource? Which text is transferred?

There is only one resource per task (working part time)
but one resource works on many tasks. The problem is that
I want more than one task field to be visable when
looking at the resource usage - it is simply not possible
to distinguish between seperate tasks only by the task
name.

I use MS Project for production scheduling and have over
1000 tasks but only a few resources to manage. It is thus
impossible to hard copy the information I want to
transfer as you suggest. How can the VBA routine be built
and imported to MS Project? Basically, I want to
transfer text fields specifying for instance the part no.
of the product produced.
