Unable to change project name & owner

[Kaisera]

Hi,
I,m trying to change a project's name / owner through the PWA as follows:
PWA --> Project Center --> Edit Project Properties --> ...
I change the relevant data but when i click "Save" / "Save & Publish"
buttons, nothing happens!
Is this a bug? is there any workaround to change project name / ownership?
Thanks,
Yaara.

This is a known and documented bug. While on the Project Properties page,
change the value of the Owner AND one other field, and then click the Save
button. The system will then change the Owner. Then go back to the
Project Properties page and change the value in the other field back to its
original value and then click the Save button again. Hope this helps.

Hi,

we are experiencing problems similar to the original post. This problem does
not just relate to the Project Owner field, but all fields listed in the Edit
Project Properties page. Simply put, no changes are saved using either of the
Save buttons. I have checked the queue, and no jobs are executed at all. Do
you know if this is a known bug as well?

I think I have found the exact problem now. In the environment where the
problem was discovered I have several required custom fields at project
level, and these seem to be the source of the problem. By using Diagnostic
Logging I have found that when trying to save (and publish) a project from
Edit Project Properties, these fields trigger a
CustomFieldRequiredValueNotProvided exception even though their value is set.
This error only occurs if the field uses a lookup table and if it already has
a value.
