Customize Filter in PWA Task view won't work with added fields.

[George F]

We just migrated from Project 2000 to Project 2003 (both Enterprise ed).
There are a couple of extra fields we want to have on the timesheets so our
resources can better sort through their tasks. I've added these fields in
the schedules under Tools->Customize->Published Fields and also in Project
Web Access (PWA) under Admin->Manage Views->Timesheet (where I modified the
view by adding the fields). I'm able to use the autofilter with these fields
and sort by them, etc...BUT when I try to create a custom filter using these
fields, it won't work. The default fields work fine in the custom filter but
when I add these fields, and click OK, not only does the filter not work, but
when I open the custom field to modify, the fields don't appear any longer
(the values do though). This used to work in the previous version but
doesn't any longer...is there a switch that needs to be turned on? Am I
missing a step? Is this a bug?

Both are enterprise task fields Enterprise Text 1 and Enterprise Text 5
