Excel import problem - xpost from question in Project Server group

[Pete Hay]

I am importing projects from Excel.
I've created a Enterprise Custom Field in Project Server "Task Type".
I launch project pro and open the excel file that contains the column "Task
Type".
In stepping through the wizard the import map finds the new enterprise field
and maps accordingly with no problem. (The preview below the mapping setup
shows the new field with correct data populating the preview).
Finish the import, insert the new field in my project view.
Field is BLANK. No data populates it at all!
Any ideas?
Pete
