SYMPTOMS
When a Microsoft Team Manager task view is organized or grouped by a category, entering a value into the category's field for any task has no effect. Microsoft Team Manager replaces the value you enter with a value based upon the category value.



CAUSE
Microsoft Team Manager automatically categorizes new tasks based upon the category the task is inserted into. This behavior overrides any value you may enter.

Example
If you group the Task Organizer view by the Priority field, the following summaries are displayed, one for each category of Priority: ID    TASK NAME            Work     Priority

Priority: Lowest Priority: Very low Priority: Low Priority: Med. low Priority: Medium Priority: Med. high Priority: High Priority: Very high Priority: Highest If you then create a new task at the bottom of this list, and assign a priority of Medium to this task, the result is as follows:  ID     TASK NAME            Work     Priority

Priority: Lowest Priority: Very low Priority: Low Priority: Med. low Priority: Medium Priority: Med. high Priority: High Priority: Very high Priority: Highest 1 -  Test                 1 week     Highest NOTE: Microsoft Team Manager automatically assigns the new task the priority equivalent to the category in which the task was placed.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post more information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
