Project: Drag/Drop Field Name Doesn’t Move Publisher

= SYMPTOMS =

In Microsoft Project, if you create a publisher from a field name on a table in your project, when you drag the field name to a new location, the publisher is not moved to the new location.

= CAUSE =

This behavior occurs because when you create a publisher in a table view of your project, the publisher is attached to the selected task or resource, even if you create the publisher using a single field in the task or resource, such as the Task Name field. In this case, however, the published edition consists of only the text in the field, not the entire task or resource.

The publisher is moved if you move the entire task or resource, but it is not moved if you move just the field name from which you created the publisher.

= WORKAROUNDS =

To work around this problem, use any of the following methods.

Method 1: To move a publisher that is created from a single field, move the entire task or resource to the new location.

Method 2: If you do not want to move the entire task or resource, move the single field, and then create the publisher again from the field in the new location.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Note that this same behavior occurs when you use the Cut or Copy command with the Paste command to move a single field that contains a publisher to a new location on the table in your project. That is, the publisher remains with the original task or resource. However, when you Copy an entire task or resource that contains a publisher to a new location on your table, the publisher is not moved. When you Cut an entire task or resource that contains a publisher, the publisher is deleted. This same Cut/Copy behavior also occurs in Microsoft Project version 3.0.
