Custom Field Display

[Chris]

In the Custom Field>Lookup tab you're given a Value filed and a Description
field to create specific items for the lookup table. When I sort on this
custom field in my project it displays the Value field entry and not the
Description field entry; is it possible to display the Description?

Hello Chris,

To the best of my knowledge, no. However, if you are using Project
2003, grouping by the field will show the description in the grouping
heading. However, Project 2007 does not work in the same manner and
only shows the value field.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
