Hi;

I needed to show a field in PWA that displays the name of the task, but with a different header, so I created a custom text field and assignned it the name I wanted to display, I created a view including this field, and it worked, but not completely, because the name of the task is not displayed in my custom field if the task is a summary task, is there any way to show it ??

I assume that your custom field contains a formula that reads the name of
the task. If this is the case, then do the following:

1. Click Tools - Customize - Fields (or Enterprise Fields if appropriate)
2. Select your custom field
3. In the "Calculation for task and group summary rows" section, select the
"Use formula" option
4. Click OK

You might also want to click Tools - Options - Calculation, and then click
the Calculate Now button as well These steps should solve your problem.
The setting in Step #3 above is one that is often overlooked, which I
believe is the source of your problem. Hope this helps.
