Background Information
When creating custom Task field intended for use in the My Tasks page,
Project Server administrators often overlook one subtle yet important option.
Failure to select this option leaves team members with a column that contains no
data and is not editable in the My Tasks page in PWA.
Resolution
To resolve this problem, the Project Server administrator must complete the
following steps:
1. Log into PWA with Administrator permissions.
2. Click Server Settings > Enterprise Custom Field
Definition.
3. Click the name of the custom field used in the My Tasks
view to open it in editing mode.
4. In the Calculation for Assignment Rows
section, select the Roll down, unless manually specified
option.
5. Click the Save button.
Important Note: In addition to the preceding
steps, the project managers in the organization may also need to open and
publish each of their projects using File > Publish to force the information to
appear in the custom field in the My Tasks page.
