Cannot select field with formula for MY Tasks view - 2007

[DogLBer]

SP1 with Aug CU
In trying to customize the MY Tasks I've noticed fields with formulas will
not appear in the Available Fields list for the Manage View/My Tasks. We are
trying to display a Baseline Finish date in a read only field in the My Tasks
view. I was trying to set another field = Baseline Finish. I've tried Date,
Text and Finish with the same results. They will show up in the PWA
Enterprise screen and are editable there, but will not show in the Manage
Views pick list. Any non formula Enterprise fields are readily available in
both. I tried this for two different plans just to make sure it wasn't
corruption. Is this normal, expected behavoir?

This is expected default behavior, even though you (and I) don't like it.
In the My Tasks page, the system does not allow you to display a custom
enterprise field containing a formula. Hope this helps.

Ouch! You see I was hoping for another answer, but many thanks for your usual
quick, concise response.
