Predecessor not available to add to views in PWA

[LisaD]

We are using PWA 2007.

I am creating/modifying views in PWA, and predecessor and successor don't
seem to be on the list of available fields. I am modifying the Task Summary
View for Project. I checked under other views which were based Task,
Resource and Assignment tables, and still can't find it.

Am I missing something?

Thanks

No, you are right and it doesn't make sense why those fields are not
available.

The only work around I can think of is to create a custom enterprise task
text field with teh formula =[Predessecors] and =[Successors] that copies
the predessesors and successors over.

You can then include the enterprise custom task text field in your views.

Jonathan,
That was my work around too, but I thought I should ask before I created two
more custom fields. I like to stick with out-of-the-box functionality
whenever possible.

Thanks for the help.

Jonathan,
My custom field is not populated in the view I added it to.

I created the field called "Predecessor custom" as a Task field, text type.
I clicked the formula button, typed [Predecessors] in the formula box. I
left the rest of the fields at the default.

I added the new custom field to my Task Summary view, but it is not populated.

I shut down PWA and project, then re logged in and still it is not populated.

What did I do wrong?

Thanks

Lisa,

When you say Task Summary, what do you mean exactly? Where is the view used
in PWA?

Also, did you make sure to open up a project, hit F9 to force a
re-calculation so that data appears in your new view and then re-publish the
project?

Jonathan,
F9 did the trick! (I was talking about the PWA view)

I opened and closed the project several times, and refreshed in PWA, but did
not know about F9 to recalculate in project.

Thank you so much for your help!

Is it possible to force an F9 "ReCalculate" using the Project API?
