Outline codes are not displayed for already existing projects

Hello,
I created new Outline Code on Project server with Graphical indicators of
status - under Number1. I also added this column to default view. After it, I
saved it and restarted Microsoft project professional.

When I open new project, everything is OK. I see new column with indicators.

But when I open already existing project from Project server, I see there
new column, but without any values. Instead of this, there is #Error (without
description).

Can anybody help me - how to "active it" also for these existing projects?

Thank you, Jiri Khun

Hi Jiri,

You should make a change to your existing plan and publish it again.

Jiri --

You need to ask each PM to open every one of their existing projects, press
the F9 function key to recalculate the project, and then save and Publish
the project. They do not need to do this for any new projects created after
you developed the new Outline Code field. Hope this helps.
