Reporting (Project Publish) Failed but not blocking correlation

Recently a user was getting errors in the queue like this. The details
indicated a "Reporting message processor failed".

Turns out he attempted to copy resources from one task to another using the
Excel-like method of grabbing the bottom right corner of the resource field
and dragging it down.

What he didn't know was that the contents of the resource field exceeded 255
characters, and resource names were being truncated during the copy and paste
operation.

Once the truncated resources were removed and replaced properly with valid
ones, the errors ceased.

Tip: It is very bad practice to use that field for any type of data
manipulation at all. Train your users that this should be used for view-only
purposes and that proper resource tools should be used for adding, changing
or modifying resource assignments.
