How to Add a required field in My Timesheets in PS2007?

[PedroJose]

I need to add a field to the general My Timesheet view in PR2007. The
purpose is to allow resources to report their estimated %complete for a task
right on the timesheet (not the % complete calculated by Project). Then I
need that value (which should be required) to flow through My Tasks during
the timesheet import process and then flow to the Project Plan (in project
professional) after approval and submission. Basically I can then create a
field to calculate the delta between the project calculated % Comp. and the
resource reported % Comp.

I have inserted a field (number type) and it appears in the timesheet but it
is not required (although I have made a required field in the custom field
definition server settings option) and it does not flow through.

Can anyone help?

Hi Pedro,

your request does not come out of the box and would require custom
developement. I know of the "pain" that some organisations have with applying
the timesheet and taskupdate philosophy that has been introduced in 2007, but
logically it makes sense to split the timesheet and task update. By saying
that it would be great to only have one screen and not 2 seperate once.

Sorry I cant be more helpful
