This issue occurs when you create one or more empty tasks in a project. When you migrate projects from an earlier version of Microsoft Office Project to Project 2007, any enterprise outline code that contains formulas may not behave as expected. Specifically, when you try to change the value of the outline code, the value may not change unless you delete and then re-create the outline code. When you copy and paste an indented task under a different parent task, the indented task does not become a child of the new parent task. If an enterprise outline code has an incorrect code mask applied to it, incorrect values can be entered into the outline code.</li></ul>
