PS2007 - Can't get custom field into Portfolio Analysis Cube

[Rick F.]

We have a custom "Task Code" field assigned to each task to ID it's customer
charge to number. Management wants a Data Analysis view to project costs by
Task Code. The Task Code field is a task entity, text type field, with lookup
table and "roll down to assignments" selected displaying data only.

In cube dimensions it shows up under Task as Task Code_Task and under
Assignment as Task Code_Task and Task Code_T_Assignment. All these are
selected dimensions. I've run the cube through several build cycles now and
the only thing that shows up is Task Code_Task in the Task Non Timephased
cube. How do I get these to show up in the Portfolio Analyzer cube so I can
associate to task costs over time?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Rick

Hi Rick,
This should just work... Presumably all the other custom fields work. If
you want to email me the exact details I'll check if it works on my demo
system.

Oh, presumably SP2....

Yes, we are SP2. I'll have top check on other custom fields as most are not
used in the cubes at this time. Which exact details do you need (setup of
custom field setup)? Email to send to?
