Forcing a enterprise field to be populated before publish allowed

D

DRYGUI

What is the best way to insure that an enterprise task field has been
populated on each task in a project before the project and tasked are
published to timesheets?
The ETF will have a list to choose the value from and will default to null.
Before any time can be posted to the task the ETF must have a non-null value
selected.
If a macro is required - please show me the macro using Enterprise Task
Outline Code 1. Thanks in advance.

Your Project Server administrator simply needs to make this custom
enterprise Task field a Required field. If this field is a Required field,
the system will not allow the PM to save the project in the Project Server
database until there is a value entered for EVERY task in the project. That
should take care of your problem nicely. Additionally, I would strongly
recommend that your Project Server administrator create a custom enterprise
task View and task Table that displays this custom field and will allow the
PM's to select values for each task. This will expedite the process. Hope
this helps.
