Published Fields not getting back into Project

J

Jeff Sweeney

I have an "Enterprise Number2" field that I have customized to be
published, and to let my resources change the field value. (I am using
it to track the number of parts on an assembly.) When a resource
modifies the value in that field [trough the PWA] and sends the
updates, the Project Manager see the changed field, but when he
accepts and updates the changes, these changes are not being put into
the project file.

Why is this?

I found a posting by Mr Chefetz that states: "Enterprise custom task
fields do have discrete values at that the assignment level, so
they're valid only for output in Timesheets." I am not exactly sure
what this means, but is this my problem? If so, any suggestions on how
do get numbers from my resources into Project?

Thanks for your help!
You guys are great!

P.S. I made my first post here two weeks ago I went from hardly no
spam to almost 100 per day! Ain't the Internet grand! :)

Jeff:

That should read "don't have discree.." To do what you want, use a
non-enterprise task field and use project templates to customize this across
projects.
