SUMMARY
When sending a Microsoft Project status report, the task name in the status report will reflect the current task name in the team file. When the project manager updates the project file, the task name will not get updated, even if the task name has been changed within Team Manager. The work, actual work, and remaining work will get updated based on the status report.



MORE INFORMATION
A project manager can send a TeamAssign message to a team manager. When the team manager opens the TeamAssign message, the tasks are added to the team file. The team manager can work on them or delegate them to team members. The team manager can send a status report back to the project manager to update the tasks in the project file. If the team manager had changed the name of the task, the status report would reflect that. The status report is equivalent to responding to a Microsoft Project TeamUpdate message. The task name cannot be edited in the TeamUpdate message. Therefore Microsoft Project ignores any changes to the task name.
